| Introduction | Floral enthusiast by heart, Rick Tolar has always shown a deep interest in color and light. Although he never saw photography as a sole occupation, he experimented with many professional aspects of it. Through the years, he has worked with other photographers and artists whom have helped him train his “eye” for potential unique colorful images. Flowers offer, in a most wonderful way, that uniqueness. Rick offers a close-up view of what we sometimes overlook. The Austin based photographer admits that perfect architectural formation of the flower is as important as the saturation of color with every flower he shoots. An avid student of light and light interactions he uses this knowledge to capture the essence of the plant. His use of ambient light, dark backgrounds and macro photography entices the viewer to investigate the subtle tints and shades of the inner flower and witness a sense of balance and mystery. “Nature has supplied us with a floral palette of millions of colors and we just need to capture them and make them timeless.” Capturing them, in all of their glory, is exactly what Rick Tolar is dedicated in doing for the years ahead. |
