Hej!

Happy to see you here! :)

Here, you see macro photography of a drop inside an onion flower.

When I went out for the photo walk that time, I had a target: to capture something different, not an abstraction. I had thoughts that my photos looked pretty much the same, especially photos of drops. But then I see a ball of an onion flower with drops on it. And I stuck! I couldn't take my eyes off this beauty and couldn't stop looking inside the flower with macro into this wonderful innerspace.

I do photos outside in nature, with no studio light; sometimes I use a reflector; and I prefer the setting sun. But such light changes pretty quickly. Often, when I've found the correct position for macro, the light is already gone! So it is tricky for me, but I am so excited about this beauty, about this wonderful world of macro, and about the moment of finding beauty. It is exciting, it is like a game or even hunting, but it takes a lot of energy and concentration. And I frequently think to myself, "Better I should do macro in the studio, arrange it... but no... and this is yet another moment that makes me think and think, "How things can be better..."."

I was sitting on the grass in front of this onion flower, completely tired, but happy. And I realized at that moment: Yes, I do macro in an unusual and possibly incorrect manner, and my photos can look quite similar; is this what people call the style!? My way! This thought was like a relief, a moment of acceptance. The moment when my inner critic relented and I allowed myself to do what I love, I let myself be me! And I felt how tears ran from my eyes—tears of happiness! And I was laughing at the thought: "Wow! Onion! "Even flowers can make you cry!"

Such a story.... more photos of this Onion series coming :)))

This artwork I've named "SPARKLING MOOD OF INTENTION," as the photo reflects an intense stream of feelings that lead me or even force me to act sometimes.
