Shabby Flowers ~ fine art flower photography by Merille Jane

At this time of year the portrait side of my photography tends to slow down and I have time for some of my personal projects. One of the things I enjoy is developing my 'shabby flowers', these are flower portraits with an aged vintage vibe that I tinker around in Photoshop to produce. Sometime I like to incorporate one of the pieces from my vintage linen and embroidery collection, or perhaps an old tea cup or vase. Other times it might be a flower captured with my macro lens to show some detail that you wouldn't normally notice unless you look closely.
This is a closer view of tulip stamens of a red and white striped tulip when the petals are on the verge of dropping and you can see the scattering of pollen grains.

My shabby flowers are available to buy as mounted prints, please get in touch via my website for more information
