A collection of paired flower photographs by a published author in
another category, transformed through the process of solarisation,
by esteemed art photographer, Brad Oliphant. Brad Oliphant is
well-known in the fashion industry, where he worked for twelve
years, with his photographic work featured by Dolce & Gabbana,
Marie Claire, Ink, Flick, La Estetica, and Zink. In the autumn of
2014 the author released an illustrated keepsake book, Lessons in
Love from A Course in Miracles (Sterling Ethos) that has given him
great traction and exposure to wide audiences. The production
values of this book make it an incredible gift for all of the
spring holiday tie-ins (Easter, Mother's Day, Graduation) The
foreword writer, Russell Hart, is the esteemed Executive Editor of
American Photo magazine and his endorsement is very meaningful in
terms of putting this first time illustrated art book author in
context for the reader/consumer. "The results are published in the
beautiful Enlightened Blooms (Glitterati Incorporated), a book
which presents a highly saturated, almost neon vision of flowers,
as though seen through an acid-trip lens. Published by Glitterati
whose highly original books are produced absolutely impeccably,
this is definitely one for the Jean-Michel Frank coffee table...
put it beside Man Ray Portraits." - Christies.com In this exquisite
collection of fine art photography, Brad Oliphant presents a
distinctive new body of work - pairs of flower images transformed
through the process of solarisation. Moving beyond the pastel
palette of traditional flower photography, Oliphant has imbued
these blooms with exuberant colour, breathing new life into a
time-honoured subject matter. Side by side in stunning symmetry,
these flowers are radiant - their glowing silhouettes, silver hues,
and spectacularly distorted colours reminiscent of expressionist
paintings. In an increasingly fast-paced world, the "Enlightened
Blooms" encourages us to pause and pay attention to the beauty that
surrounds us. While paying homage to a subject matter rich with
symbolic and cultural significance, Oliphant makes us feel as if we
are seeing flowers for the very first time. In their transformed
states, these flowers beg to be lingered over, their forms
contemplated, their very existence revered as a miraculous gift.
