Echoes of Bloom: The Art of Ghosted Floral Photography
This floral image by Laura L. Leatherwood feels like an emotional impression suspended in light and color. The composition draws the viewer inward through flowing layers of magenta petals that seem to drift across the frame like silk in motion. The photograph embraces softness and atmosphere, allowing the flower to unfold in a more expressive and interpretive way. At the heart of the image is a vibrant burst of orange and gold. The center glows against the surrounding pink tones, becoming […] -

Where Atmospheric Macro Photography Excels
Photo by Laura L. Leatherwood, Pen & Ink Magic Atmospheric macro photography distinguishes itself by shifting the purpose of the image. Rather than documenting a subject with precision, it interprets it—transforming a simple bloom into a study of light, tone, and presence. In this approach, success is not measured by sharpness alone, but by the ability to evoke a response. This is where the work of Laura L. Leatherwood finds its strength. One of the most notable areas where this style […]https://velvetpoetics.wordpress.com/2026/04/20/where-atmospheric-macro-photography-excels/

When the Subject Chooses You: A Burst of Curiosity and Light
In photography, intention often serves as the starting point. But, it is not always the destination. What begins as a careful study of color, form, and composition of a flower can quickly evolve into something far more spontaneous. This image, originally conceived as a portrait of a vibrant orange marigold, became instead a quiet narrative of curiosity, instinct, and the gentle unpredictability of life. At the center of the frame, the marigold stands in soft focus with the orange petals […] -

Lumen
A #poetry threadi.
In sable night
that lacks the stars,
a sealed off cave.
A man, five scars.The tail of night,
a crack is heard.
Black stone is rolled,
a flight of birds.Beloved with
her oils and herbs.
She sees the stone
and finds no words.🧵👇🏼

And Fall has fallen and colors fade
The frost is biting as winter’s made
A time to reap, a time to sow,
a time to slumber as cold winds blow,
awaiting spring and sun’s rebirth
another cycle in our lives on earth#art #poemaday #poem #poetry #caption4reflection #nikonphotography #nikonphoto #MacroPhotography #SelectiveFocus #CloseUp #Leaf #Autumn #Yellow #Outdoors #nature #tree #fall #snap_allnature #snap_colors #snap_colorsplash #photography #fotografie
