Reimagining Mapplethorpe's still life

A short series, emulating Robert Mapplethorpe's flower photography. The title image was one of the last images I created and is probably my favorite.








The online camera club that I am a member of has a Photographers' Study Group - each month the group researches and discusses a specific photographer's work. Mapplethorpe in particular created a lot of interest from the group as we sought to understand and, to some extent, recreate the style of his work.
