I came across the book acid bloom by Ninagawa Mika again the other day. I'd seen it a couple of years ago and loved it then. Saw it yesterday and remembered how much I loved it. This book of her work in particular, is very inspiring to me. From the subject matter of course, to her photographic approach and signature color point of view. I love the blown out, oversaturated colors of her images as well as the bug's eye view that frame up her compositions. I realized yesterday how much I look at my garden and the flowers there in a similar way. I don't have anything close to her amazing technical skills (I'm a digital camera point and shoot kind of gal) but even so, I like the blurry, not so perfect, in motion approach to garden photography. It's not still in real life so why should all your finished pictures feel still and perfect?
