Two Sunflowers © 2019 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photograph – Two Sunflowers – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/two-sunflowers/
Every summer I love to photograph local sunflowers. This year, I bought some from a local farmer and brought them into my studio. At first, I was a bit frustrated since I couldn’t get the flowers to open up and face me the way I wanted to. And then I looked more closely at what was in front of me – and was amazed at the contrast of colors between the bright yellow and soft greens, the contrast of the soft petals and the spiny hairs along the leave and at how the flowers popped against the black background. All of a sudden, I was really pleased that I couldn’t photograph the sunflowers the way I wanted to – and instead photographed them the way they presented themselves to me.
The photograph is available matted to 11 X 14 or 16 X 20.
