“The Devoted Lily” A large part of photography (these days) includes the manipulation (if you will) in post production. Although I’m a purist at heart, I am enjoying the artistry and creativity it provides; which has expanded my photographic life and world. Although the color version of this photograph is quite striking, I intentionally snuffed out most of it. “Why?”, because I felt it added softness to this already tender photo, and subsequently a greater sense of emotion (calm). Equally important, are the subtle hints of color which help define the subject. My goal is to capture your interest with emotion, and then with curiosity. The Calla Lily symbolizes purity, beauty, faithfulness, holiness and new beginnings (that’s you often see them in wedding bouquets). That said, on closer examination you’ll notice words of admiration hidden within this photo. I titled this photograph, “The Devoted Lily” for all it symbolizes. NOTE: I intentionally left the teeny bug on the Lily.... in real life NOTHING is perfect 😊
