A dozen dead roses

It’s soon Valentines day, a day for which 250 million roses get produced and in the UK alone around £1.9 billion gets spent on flowers. So I thought it apt to share my latest personal project ‘A dozen dead roses’.

It’s a study of how the beauty of roses remains even after they’ve died. Shot at the end of the day as the sun sets the light change brings warmth back into the rose petals.

As we're in middle of the party season I thought it was a good time to show you my party inspired new personal work. And I'd like to wish all my friends and followers a fantastic Christmas and a very happy new year. I have lots planned for 2011 so watch this space for all my latest news and photography.
