HILDA CHAMPION
Peony Burst

This image is part of a series of flowers submersed in a mixture of water, milk, and, sometimes, colorants. The opacity created by the additional medium gives texture and movement to the image, turning the flowers into mystical underwater creatures.

I use the camera as a tool to express ideas and emotions. Sometimes I record "reality", or perceived reality. My aspiration in photography is less about showing the world as it is, but rather to release the poetry of the ordinary and help people see the un-seen. I try to show an abstraction of what I see, free of distractions. My images are “based on a true fantasy”.
My preference is to photograph in nature. While I also do studio work with elaborated lighting setups, natural light still has the most flattering qualities. In addition, being out in nature is my elixir, my source of energy and replenishment.
