Created in London in 2015 in my Chapel Market Studio, this series was shot with the intention to be featured in a book I was producing, Portraits Nudes Flowers.

I had not photographed flowers since my university days, where I made a series of soft focus roses, Analogy of a Memory, Melbourne 1995. For me, flowers represent emotions, feelings and a state of mind. I see how the most influential fashion designers of the last 100 years have all at one point or another been seduced by the allure of flowers - I am not much different. All three images were shot entirely with natural daylight through a diffused window.

Peonies Two 021, with my peonies series from this time, I leaned into referencing my Analogy of a Memory series. My main idea was that memories are sometimes blurred, soft, wonderful and loving.
