A look at the ethereal beauty of flowers

In this exquisite coffee table book Fellman captures the essence & ethereal beauty of flowers. With selective focus there is more feeling than substance. It is as if the flowers have their own secret world that we can only know part of.A wide variety of flora are presented in 62 sepia toned prints, including delicate roses, elegant calla lilies, exotic orchids & magnificent sunflowers. I love her use of soft focus & the numerous close-ups of petals.These are the most sensual flower pictures I have seen. The images convey a combination of mystery with remarkable intimacy as you see extraordinary detail emerging from the subtle shapes and tones of the background.Each plate is numbered with several images spread across two-pages. The type of flower & the year the photo was taken are listed in the back. There is also background information about Fellman and 2 essays on her work.
