Daffodil

by hankinslawrenceimages | May 18, 2021 | Flower Portraits

This is another photograph in my series of flowers photographed as portraits with custom backgrounds designed to highlight what I see as the personality of the flowers. To me, daffodils have always been the bright happy flowers signifying the coming of spring, and this year, hopefully the end of the pandemic. So as I photographed this daffodil, I saw her cheerfully greeting a new day, a wonderful spring, and hopefully better days ahead.

Flower from Plantmasters, a local flower farm in Maryland.

Gazelle Powers

In December 2019, I had the chance to work with Gazelle Powers, a local fine-art figure model. I shared my ideas for my Kodak Girls inspired series with her and she arrived for our session full of ideas, and with some wonderful outfits. I can’t wait to work with Gazelle again once it is safe to reopen our studio.

Another photo in my I’m So Bored I’m Baking series – Apple Snickerdoodle Muffins. The muffins are full of apples and cinnamon sugar and topped with a brown sugar swirl – a perfect muffin in the fall when local apples are ripe

Bill and I had the pleasure of working with Wayne Sequoyah Bladen not long before we had to close our studio for in-person sessions due to Covid. I’ve recently edited the photos from a wonderfully fun afternoon in the studio with Wayne.
