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.

Red Rose 001, expresses desire, lust and vulnerability. An urgency coexists within the image, asking the viewer to pause and recognise the feeling of it.
