This stunning image was made by the Italian photographer Valentina Ruggiero.
She received a Master of Arts in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, and works across several mediums, including photography, painting and digital image manipulation.
Here are more of Valentina’s striking floral portraits for your viewing pleasure…
Macro photographer Peiling Lee from Malaysia turned to photography after quitting her design/advertising job and has been taking her art seriously for the last three years. Before that she was like most people, having fun with her digital compact.
She uses water, flowers, and grass as props, as well as the natural light and colours of the environment to create her beautiful take on a macro world.
Here’s more of Peiling’s delightfully colourful work:
