For photographer Warwick Orme, Floranova is a culmination of a lifelong interest in photography and a passion for the beauty of flowers. His images are unique, conveying his personal passion for and knowledge of his subject. Now with the use of cutting edge photographic technology and lavish format, Orme has taken the traditional floral still-life into breathtaking new territory. Shooting and cropping close, he captures exquisite details of stamens, pollen, nuance of colour and pattern with all the analytical fervour of a botanist. Back-lighting adds a surreal translucency that illuminates the spirit of the subject as well. Glowing blossoms explode in super-saturated colour while the soft pale hues of fragile blooms are evocative of the subtlety of watercolour. Orme refers to his radical floral portraits as digital watercolours.
