Flora Umbra

The photographs in this series were taken in two steps on the light box. The first step is a photo of the plant or flower on the light box. This photo has been converted into black and white and printed on transparent paper. This print I put on the light box again with the original plant or flower on top of it. The effect is to create a shadow, although with a lot of detail in the shadow. And there was no photoshop involved.
