It’s been a long time I’ve tried to photograph flowers, but with no satisfaction. Lately, I took the chance to photograph some beautiful gardens around Sintra, Portugal with a different approach. Instead of trying to capture the beauty of the flowers (mostly much better for real then pictured) I went for the idea of them, the essence. I realized that blur and motion shots are perfect for my point of view because they abstract enough the subject giving a completely new shape and meaning.

smashing approach, looks like an “essence catching lens” :)
