The 'Flora in Ambrotype' project offers a unique perspective on nature. The antique ambrotype technique, known for its depth and texture, captures botanical forms with striking clarity, giving them an almost tangible volume. Each image is a living portrait of a plant, frozen on glass. Flora transforms into sculpture, where details gain significance. Contrasts of light and shadow, silvery tones turn photos into poetic works. The project not only introduces plants in a vintage style but also highlights the fragility of natural beauty, as if suspended in time.
Dmytro Trush, 37, Kyiv, Ukraine — product photographer specializing in detail and visual storytelling. For the past 3 years, I’ve explored ambrotype photography, a slow, meditative process with glass plates and light. It’s my bridge between the digital age and the tactile beauty of tradition, where each image becomes a unique, handcrafted artifact.
