Working the angle

It is such a thrill to go down to Céret early Saturday morning to see what the flower stall at the market has to tempt me ! 

This week they had as good a selection as ever which included gladioli. I have never photographed gladioli before so at just 1 Euro she was a bargain! 

It’s fun exploring the flowers, turning them every which way, before deciding which profile pleases me most. I also pay close attention to the light and can create different looks depending upon which time of the day I set up my camera by the window. A strong striking line always draws me in - or a hidden gem often missed by the naked eye. 

My aim is to create contemporary macro art, all the while offering my personal twist. We should all stay true to our creative soul :)
