    Technique Best New Talent / Gold Winner in Technique/Wet Collodion

The 'Flora in Ambrotype' project offers a unique perspective on nature. The antique ambrotype technique, known for its depth and texture, captures botanical forms with striking clarity, giving them an almost tangible volume. Each image is a living portrait of a plant, frozen on glass. Flora transforms into sculpture, where details gain significance. Contrasts of light and shadow, silvery tones turn photos into poetic works. The project not only introduces plants in a vintage style but also highlights the fragility of natural beauty, as if suspended in time.
