Zinnia © 2021 Patty Hankins
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. For this zinnia, I wanted to emphasize the soft pinks in the petals and feeling of a heritage flower. The flower reminded me of a woman who loves vintage – clothing, home decor, etc – and is happy to quietly share her love of vintage and not worry about competing with all the women showing off their latest and greatest attire and trends.
Flower from Plantmasters, a local flower farm in Maryland.
Background textures from The French Kiss Collection
