Pink Camellias 2020
Looking at photographing or presenting every image in black and white and colour. I'm lacking to vocabulary to write about what and why I am choosing images.
I like black and white for its clean simplicity without the distractions or added ideas colour brings.
I like colour for being able to present the ideas that colour brings.
These Camellias are very bold and pink and extra frilly like Barbara Cartland. I wanted the colours to be saturated like I see them but softened so they aren't quite so brash. They remind me of 1950s floral dress prints.
I prefer the more perfectly formed blush pink variety I first photographed and the romance they portrayed.
One of the reasons I don't really like talking about the photographs is because its difficult not to sound pretentious!
