Sepia flower photography is a highly creative example of the photographic medium. These works are perfect for audiences that want less contrast than black and white photography but don't want the distracting colors of regular flower photography.
Sepia tone photos are highly unique in that they provide warmth to the picture, while still retaining the classic attitudes of black and white photography. Where black and white photography hints at the past and color photos embrace the joy of the present, sepia photography retains a space between those two times. These muted blossom images are beautiful in execution and provide works with something the other two alternatives do not. Works like 'Classic Beauty' by Charles Britt and 'Spirit' by John Jones are beautiful examples of contemplation and remind the viewer of the same qualities that are present when waking from a particularly poignant dream. However, many people enjoy the vintage, yellowed qualities of these framed sepia tone photos. Images like 'Daisies II' by Judy Silverstein are not only vintage but personable photographs which invite the viewer to contemplate the days of their youth or to celebrate the youth that is still theirs.
Close up sepia floral prints are highly popular aspect of floral sepia photographs because they allow room for contrast without having an excess of dead space. Typically the background of these works is pure black, in order to create the greatest contrast without taking away from the floral subject. Although muted, blossom images that employ these techniques are dramatically striking, as in the case of the 'Radiance Series' by Cinzia Ryan or the 'Timeless Grace Series' by Charles Britt. Works that choose not to employ the all black background are usually less dramatic and more sensitive in their depictions, as seen in 'Dogwood' by Ann Dahlgren or 'Polaroid Magnolia' by Diane Stimson.
