Book Details

Showcasing more than 100 one-of-a-kind flower portraits, Mark’s book is not only a beautiful coffee-table book, but also a photo seminar and self-help book all rolled into one!

A synergy of philosophy, photography, and Photoshop, Botanical Dreaming provides inspiration and the know-how to capture close-up images of flowers and turn them into masterpieces. Easy-to-follow text and stunning imagery guides you through the creative process – before, during and after you’ve clicked the shutter.

In Part One, Mark opens his heart to share an optimistic perspective on life and how it influences the creative process. Part Two reveals secrets for using a macro lens and natural light to capture eye-catching flower images. Part Three explores the endless possibilities of Photoshop to turn ordinary photos into works of art. The tips and techniques covered transcend any particular version of Adobe Photoshop and dip gracefully into the well of classic image making.
