Flowers have been a source of inspiration for photographers since the beginning of the medium, immortalised by figures such as Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Irving Penn and Julia Margaret Cameron. Today flower photography has come into full bloom once again, with artists capturing blossoms in new ways. Featuring two hundred works, the volume links the best of the last twenty years with its predecessors, and with the canonical floral images from photography, illustration and painting that marked the field.
