Martin Klimas: Flowers

Martin Klimas: Flowers at Foley Gallery in New York. "...To produce his 'Flowers' sequence, Klimas arranged classic, elegant still lifes of blossoming flowers placed in vases, nestled against vibrant monochrome backgrounds. The photographer then makes just one photograph, set off by the sound of impact as a spring-fired projectile bursts the vessel into a bedlam of fragmenting pieces. The resultant image is deemed successful only when the height of tension exists between poised, inert flower and its rupturing container." More at Martin Klimas Photography.
