Flower butterfly

Flower butterfly , Fine Art & Illustration
Flower butterfly Judge's Choice Award
I've always been drawn to butterflies and nature, Seeing and remember that first butterfly in my backyard and how majestic it look it’s something that I will remember forever.
This piece is a silver gelatin darkroom print and printed using a 8x10 inch glass. The image itself was made with old dry flower pedals, finding and shaping flower pedals into a butterfly then captured using a medium format film camera.
This technique or process is made with liquid emulsion that is layer / coated into a the glass then its printed and develop in the darkroom.
Since the print is transparent, whenever a strong light source hits the glass it will project the image behind it.

Artist Statement
My passion with film photography has given me a new way to capture and create art in the darkroom and exploring, learning new techniques and alternative ways to print my work in the darkroom and give it a new way to see the photograph itself.

I love the process of old traditional printing, the experience of seeing a beautiful silver gelatin print rather than a inkjet print is truly remarkable and the reason why I keep doing it time and time again, I’ve spent many hours in the darkroom perfecting my craft and passion and pushing myself to new heights in what I can do with photography.
