Artist Statement
From the 'Botanic' series, which was inspired by the art movements of the 1920s and 30s. Each image has a contemporary-classic feel, with some of the flowers seeming almost balletic in their elegant forms.
Each photographic study fills the frame, almost to over-flowing, as though the flower is pushing to break free of the confines of the print. Using monochrome, rather than full colour, Paul creates compositions with simpler tones of light and shade; and his careful use of gentle lighting works to draw out the delicate shapes and textures of each subject.
This warm-toned, limited edition, museum-quality pigment ink print is made on fine-art paper, using archival inks. Other sizes are available.
The print comes with a border, which gives two options for framing. The print can be framed with the border and signature showing. Alternatively, the framer can trim the border to produce a borderless frame, where the frame fits up to the edge of the printed image

Artist Profile

“Throughout all of my projects, I’ve worked to capture not just a subject’s form, but also a visual and perhaps painterly representation of the fleeting emotion I felt at the time the images were captured; encouraging the viewer to experience at least part of that same intangible sensation when they study my work”.
"There is also an intriguing aspect to looking beyond the obvious; to capture photographically detail, shape and pattern hidden in plain sight, and to explore its symmetry, light and texture. My images often feature and are inspired by the natural world, which I feel a strong connection to; something which was instilled in me from living in the beautiful New Forest region of southern England”.
British fine-art photographer Paul Coghlin was born in London in 1967, and is currently based in Suffolk in eastern England.

His images have appeared regularly in publications and international exhibitions, including at AIPAD in New York and the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London.
