More constraints for my current project. Distinct characteristics of the photographs for my florelegium project.

• Subject Matter: flowers from local flower farms

• Natural Lighting: directional daylight

• Soft color palettes: soft whites, earthy neutral tones, desaturated colors/pastels

• Minimalist composition: negative space, clean lines, uncluttered backgrounds to draw focus to the flowers themselves as subjects

• Film-like processing: grain and texture

• Art Direction: handcrafted, vintage, secondhand vases and supporting elements with genuine personality; relaxed, authentic, unforced
