Botanical Portraits David Fishman

Bio

David Fishman Photographer Botanical

DAVID FISHMAN is drawn to the rare and unexpecdted beauty of botanicals at every stage of life.  Weather in perfect bloom, quiet decline, or marked by the blemishes of time, nature offers an endless variety of forms waiting to be discovered.  Through close-up photography, I reveal intricate colors, textures, patterns, and structures that often go unnoticed--details that can appear almost otherworldly.

I photograph garden favorites, exotic species, and uncommon plants in botanical gardens, greenhouses, private collections and my own garden, always searching for images that surprise me.  My goal is to invite others to pause, look more closley, and experience the same sencse of curiosity, awe, and wonder that I feel when I encounter these remarkabnle botanical forms.  If my botanical porraits encourage viewers to slow down, look more closely, and discover beauty they might otherwise have overlooked, than I have achieved what I set out to do.
