These are a few of my favorite flowers that passed through my lens this year. I hope your 2025 is filled with endless creativity—and the experiences that go with them.

Happy New Year!

If today is your day to celebrate the season, you’re seeing a lot of this today…wrapping paper.

Wishing everyone peace and harmony this holiday season. However you celebrate, I hope it’s joyful, and that you’re making memories with a camera in hand.

A simple photograph of a poinsettia leaf with light skipping across its surface and through its venation. The color of the leaves is beyond intense.

Soap bubbles floating in a glass dish, blended with a colorful background, illuminated by a single LED source.

These soap bubbles appear completely different from the previous post! For this image, I added a prism between the petri dish of soapy water, and the light underneath.

I placed a patterned metallic background underneath a petri dish with bubbles, and then illuminated the background with a single LED light positioned 10 feet away. The color from the background then passed through the bubbles.

A bouquet of flowers I picked up for a few bucks gave me some lovely subjects to work with this week!

The shape of this sunflower reminded me of the flames from a rocket motor, so in a strange way, I think the lighting was influenced by that first impression.

A single LED light beam was shaped using four different reflectors to redirect the illumination into different areas of this delicate flower.
