Fine art photographer Jeanne Michel began her work in 1999 following a ten year career as a research psychology professor. She specializes in distinctive botanical portraits, primarily flowers, which range from high-key to sepia-tones to intensely chromatic.
Jeanne Michel has always been fascinated with light and its effect on color and form. She is a passionate gardener and actually grows many of the flowers that she uses in her photographs giving her an endless supply of subject matter.
“My sole intention is to capture the fleeting beauty of the interaction between the striking forms offered by life and the light that illuminates them. This ever-changing play between light and life is the basis for all my work. If I can capture these moments and print them in a manner that both preserves their beauty and offers the momentary experience to others, I am satisfied."
