Flowers

A photographer whose aim is to create an image that goes beyond a mere record of its subject and becomes art, Sue Bishop's compositions are a celebration of colour and form that often go beyond reality and become impressionistic and even abstract. Flower photography is her particular passion; she has exhibited her work many times and held a major solo exhibition at the Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library in London in Spring 2004. This book presents more than 100 stunning photographs on unashamedly minimalist pages that allow full scope to the images. Thoughtfully chosen quotations and captions accompany the pictures, offering another dimension to the subject matter, or giving Sue's personal comments on how the image was achieved and what she was aiming to convey. An illustrated index offers photographic data on each featured image so that other photographers can learn from Sue's experience.
