Beaded Silk

"This photo was taken on an early morning walk in Bordon, Hampshire UK March 2012. Spiderwebs, something that is so delicate and normally hard to see was now there to be seen and made to inspire on a misty spring morning.”
#3 White Flower
© Stephen Smith
"This is a white flower shot using a macro lens. It was in plain sight, there are unusual images to be found everywhere. My art is about re-igniting our awareness and appreciation of the natural world that we live in every day. My images convey the invisible spirit of life and the unseen aspects of energy. I work on creating an experience of pure perception of color, shapes, texture, rhythms and light that at the end, express the continuum of the existence of real and unreal. My abstract photographic work presents imperceptible segments and fleeting moments beyond the reality that the non-trained eye can see."
Cranberries and Cream

“Part of a series of photographs of objects in unusual environments. Layers of cranberries floating in water in a small glass tank with whipping cream added and photographed through the side wall of the tank to let gravity take effect.”
