Impressionism Photography
Iris photography in nature is a challenge. Here’s a photograph of the rare endemic Dark Brown Iris, standing in the wind. I developed a new expressionism technique to show both the wind movement and the grass exquisite frozen details. Don’t miss it! As always, I also ask: Is it art? Is it a photograph?
