For years, my flower photography was an indoor affair. I had the perfect setup - a cozy corner bathed in soft, natural light that produced consistent high-key floral portraits set against a white background.

In my journey to create more artistic and meaningful photographs, I have found myself drawn back to tools and techniques I once set aside.

There comes a point in any creative pursuit where you ask yourself, What am I really trying to achieve? For me, I've reached that point in my photography. I no longer feel the urge to chase technically perfect images or invest in the latest lenses and grear
