16x20 print on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl 285g/m paper. Part of a series of floral image photographed in a studio environment
Floral #037 features the Hanging Lobster Claw (Heliconia rostrata) — a striking perennial native to the tropical rainforests of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. High-key studio lighting against a crisp white background isolates its dramatic, downward-spiraling form, focusing entirely on its bold symmetry. The minimalist approach highlights the waxy texture and vivid contrast of the bright red bracts tipped with yellow and green, transforming this cascading botanical specimen into a clean, sculptural study of form and color.
