Some ideas are really unique,
when photographer Mo Devlin takes an interesting approach for flower
photography by freezing his buds in order to generate mind-blowing abstract
compositions. He uses macro lens by capturing intriguing light, texture, and unforeseen
details within the melodramatic colors and shapes set in ice. The whole
experimental process is wonderfully unpredictable. During experimental process
& error he learned that ordinary tap water generates cloudy ice so he now
gets his clearest ice by using distilled water. Devlin varies the container
size which alters the effects of how the water freezes, and uses all types of
flowers including roses, daffodils, posies, and daisies to get a colorful array
of painterly compositions. During the freezing process, he gets the pleasant
discovery; water compresses all flowers and squeezes out bubbles of oxygen from
the petals. As the block more solidifies, the ice pushes the bubbles away from
the center which consequences in gorgeous icy trails around the flowers. Devlin
relishes this ever-changing process almost as much as the final photographs and
Devlin says; I know very well, that I have become to some extent obsessed with
my frozen posies as when I bring flowers home my wife asks Are those for me or
the freezer?
