Update: First place winner IPA Awards 2023!
We are delighted to announce that Tim Platt has won a first prize in the International Photography Awards 2023 for his Flower Portraits. This is the second year running that Tim has won a first prize in these prestigious awards, as last year he won first place in the Abstract Fine Art category.
Summer Flower Portraits 2023
Fine art photographer Tim Platt has been working over the summer on a brand new collection of 14 vibrant, colourful flower portraits from his garden. Each image is blended from up to 160 shots at slightly different focal points for enhanced definition and depth of field. This technique is known as focus-stacking and results in remarkable detail and clarity when using a close-up lens. Detail, definition and impact, are greatly enhanced at larger print sizes.
Tim says "Still-life photography allows us to marvel at the astonishing details in nature's grand design. When you magnify flowers you make heroes of them and appreciate them in a new way. Some of these flowers are less than 20mm wide. When blended from many shots at different focus points I can achieve full depth of field in a way that is otherwise impossible when using a macro lens. Detail, form, texture and colour are emphasised in an almost hyper-realistic way. I like to think that these elements combine to create different personalities, which is why I call them flower portraits.
Try these suggestions to add zest and personality to your space with colour.
Adding art to your home is a great way to inject colour, vibrancy, and personality into your living space. Art can transform a room, evoking emotion and creating ambience. Whether you prefer paintings, sculptures, prints, or photographs, here are some tips on how to effectively use art to add colour.

|
1. Choose art with bold colours:
Look for artwork with vibrant colours that complement your existing decor. Select pieces with shades already present in your space or colours that compliment your furniture and walls. Bold colours can instantly draw attention and create focal points in a room. Add some energy with vibrant colours and bold shapes.

2. Use neutral tones for balance:
When adding colourful art, balance is key. If your room is decorated in neutral colours, introducing colourful art can make the space come alive. However, if your room already features a mix of vibrant colours, consider opting for art with softer tones to prevent an overload. Choose artworks that feature complementary colours that pick up on existing shades in the room. Consider adding monochromatic or black-and-white tones to help ground the space.

3. Incorporate art into functional spaces:
Don't restrict your art to only the living room or bedroom. Use art to add colour to hallways, entrances, or the kitchen. Add character and visual interest to these areas and create a cohesive flow throughout your home.

Art is a powerful tool for adding life and colour to your home. By carefully selecting and displaying artworks that resonate with your style and personality, you can create a visually captivating and inspiring living space that reflects your unique tastes and passions.
