Steve Harries, Studio Botanical

19.07.17–21.09.17

Inspired by the traditional educational purpose of a botanical field journal, Harries' publication Studio Botanical takes on a similar functional design format; using an appendix to reference Polaroids complete with personal notes recording the technical details of the exposures taken in the studio. The flowers, 23 varieties in total and shot over the course of 4 sittings, are created with nuances of movement, repetition or sequence to elevate them from the purely representational form to a more controlled and often distorted interpretation.
