“Art Phormium”
Contact: richardcannon831@gmail.com
The images in this portfolio are dedicated solely to the Phormium plant, also known as New Zealand Flax.
I chose to use the Phormium as a solo portfolio subject after discovering the many visual surprises and artistic possibilities it offers. I was particularly inspired by the ethereal glow of the rich warm colors revealed by the backlighting of the late afternoon sun.
With these images, I’ve tried to explore a bit beyond the normal bounds of subject matter photography.
My goal in presenting these images, in this somewhat abstract fashion, is to allow an appreciation of the subject’s form, texture, and color.
I’m grateful for these moments of discovery, and I’m pleased to share them with you.
