Sweet pea: A colorful garden favorite, the delicate and abstract quality of Tim Platt’s award-winning Sweet Pea image evokes summery gratitude and happiness. As a prime example of Tim’s acclaimed Flower Portraits series, this piece combines his in-depth technical skills with an appreciation for small, often unseen details. This creative approach to flower photography has once again earned him a gold award in the Fine Art Photography Awards 2024. Add this award-winning image to a series or feature it as a standalone statement. It will enhance any space with grace and charm.

Parrot tulip bud: Platt’s photograph “Parrot tulip bud” is another winning entry in the International Photography Awards 2023. It beautifully captures the moment right before the tulip’s feathery petals burst open, its subtle colors set to saturate into vivid purples, reds, greens, and yellows. The bud embodies nature’s intensifying energy within it. This Rainbow Parrot tulip, a symbol of unconditional love, has an almost three-dimensional sculptural quality. Printed on smooth Photo Rag, a 308 gsm heavyweight art paper, this dramatic image will become a conversation piece in any room.

Whirlygig Cape daisy: This tiny flower is just 25mm wide. Tim Platt’s fascination with photographing flowers is observing the remarkable detail within nature’s design. The closer you get, the more you see. This image is focus-stacked using 130 shots at slightly different focal points to create sufficient depth of field from front to back. This technique is time-consuming, but it is the only way to achieve such deep focus when working with a macro lens. This flower signifies silence and purity. Available for purchase as an archival limited edition print on fine art paper.
