Sunflowers Ed. 6 of 50

A fairly typical sight as you drive around Provence in summer. I can't imagine not being happy when I see sunflowers, heads facing the sun and nodding gently in the breeze. Seeing a whole field planted is somewhat surreal, especially when you get down low and surround yourself in the blooms, hearing the bees buzzing past.

I'm also immensely fascinated by the patterns of the seeds in the centre of the flowers. The precise geometric pattern follows the Fibonacci Spiral, which also appears in many other natural creations which are seemingly unrelated.

I chose to photograph this image with a shallow depth of field to provide a different perspective, and focus on the fine detail of the sunflower's petals and leaves in the foreground.

You could say that my photographic journey started deeply rooted within the art world. My inspiration came from nature – light, shadow, geometry, and patterns. I started to study the work of other talented photographers, so that my interest in photography – always hovering in the background – sparked into flame as I started to experiment with my first ‘grown up’ camera.My exploration has taken me across a range of photographic genres – weddings, architecture, travel, landscapes, commercial, portraits and more. I feel I’ve come full circle now, and my passion for sharing the world as I see it has been strengthened by my exposure to a variety of subjects and the shooting styles and technical skills they require.I’m happiest when I see the reactions and intrigue of people viewing my work. So all I ask is that you give yourself permission to explore whatever inspiration you feel when you look at my photos… and think about how you can put that inspiration into action.
