Welcome to my Gallery

Thank you for being here. This space is deeply personal to me: a place shaped by care, devotion, and a sincere connection to the natural world. The images before you are born from an intimate relationship with each of these plants, and from a profound sense of gratitude for nature’s endless generosity: its inspiration and meaning, its abundance, and its ever-present life-pulsation.

Every photograph in this series depicts a plant I have grown with my own hands, from seed to seed, in my daily work as an organic seed farmer. Through my work, I aim to honour the plant world, from the humblest garden flower to the rarest variety.

Given the direct relationship between the plants' growth cycle and the photographic work presented here, I expect this gallery to grow alongside the same timeline as the plants'. As the famous saying goes, "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished".

I thus invite you to spend time with each of these carefully crafted images by following the "Read More" links. Alternatively, you can also visit the Fine Art Store if you would like to know more about my Fine Art Prints.

May these images inspire you as much as they have inspired me.

From Farm to Frame
Series

This series brings to you the beauty I witness each day on our seed farm, transformed into fine art photography. Each image is composed of dozens -sometimes hundreds- of photographs, created using a technique called "Focus Stacking". While this process is time-intensive, it produces images with a level of detail and intimacy far beyond that of conventional macro photography.

Every piece in this series is thus carefully crafted with time, intention, and love. Enjoy.

Marigold Dreams

A bee placidly sleeping inside a Yellow Aztec Marigold (Tagetes erecta), offering a kind window into the relationships between bees and flowers.

Tango Cosmos

A vibrant and painterly Tango Cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus), striking yet gentle.

Radiant Red Zinnia

An extremely detailed image of a Radiant Red Zinnia (Zinnia elegans), offering the opportunity to take an intimate journey into this flower and its pollen-covered world.

Starry Knight

Set against the black background, this Black Knight Scabiosa (Scabiosa atropurpurea) resembles a starry night up in the sky.

Bud, Bloom & Bounty
Series

This series builds upon the foundation of From Farm to Frame, carrying forward the same values, premises and love, while deepening my commitment to the craft of slow photography. Here, I follow the journey of selected plants throughout the growing season: from their bud stage where they gather all their creative energy, to their full expression in bloom, and finally to the precious culmination of their efforts: the seed. In this way, the series traverses and gently blurs the boundaries between Botany and Fine Art.

Each triptych is composed of individual images built from dozens of focus-stacked photographs and, as a result, it can take months (even years) to complete a full set. In a world where imagery can be generated in seconds with a simple AI prompt, I vow to bring slowness and patience back into the digital realm.

As seed farmers, we are fortunate to witness a plant’s entire life cycle, and it is an honour to bring the full picture to you. May the plants be my guides.
