Description
These lilies are some of my favorite flowers to photograph. They come in an incredible variety of colors. The technical name for them is Alstroemeria. They are also called lily of the Incas. In this species, the two back petals have vivid colors and markings to attract pollinating insects. This is one of my flower series of images composed on a ground glass screen utilizing a magnifying loupe for precise focus. The project spanned over five years. The Mamiya 23 medium format swing back camera has the ability to adjust the plane of focus, for maximizing the depth of field. The intent for this series was for surrealism, as these photographs will handle a great deal of enlargement while holding detail.
