Impressionist photography techniques.
Using Multiple exposure and ICM (intentional camera movement) to capture flowers and plants in a artistic way
All effects will be done “in camera” so a camera that has multiple exposure facilities would be required.
Five different approaches to photographing plants and flowers with useful tips and advice.
A comprehensive article in this month’s Nikon magazine “N Photo” A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of meeting John Fogerty. I spent a day with John guiding him through the various techniques I use to create my images. Recorded and written up expertly by Adam Waring. You can read the full article here
These are a couple of magazine articles that show the process I used back in the 1990’s to get the inverted images result.

In these strange times I have been doing a bit of sorting out and have come across some old newspaper clippings and magazine articles.
This one must be from 1993. The image came first in a local competition. In the days before Photoshop I couldn’t erase the four letter word on the church door.
Our first show at Wisley due to start this week may not be happening but Craft in Focus have arranged #VirtualWisleyCraftFair Along with our fellow exhibitors we are taking part in #MeetMyFellowExhibitor During April we will be introducing ourselves and sharing the work of many our talented friends that we have met over the last 18 years!
I take the photos and do the printing while my wife Hilda does many things including growing a lot of the flowers, looking after the greetings cards and being ever present at the shows.
The natural world is my passion. I love using my macro lens to see the things we don’t usually notice as well as capturing the British countryside in all it’s guises.
I have a lot of new images to add to www.andysmall.co.uk which I shall be doing in the next few weeks so please keep tuning in!

Thank you to everyone that has placed orders over the last few weeks. Everything is well underway, I just need a few “Elves” to help get everything done in time!
Just had a great time photographing fruit and veg for the covers of the RHS Adult Learning Brochures.
Here are the results.
Subjects were very tasty!
Finally got round to sorting out the images from the second phase of installing pictures at this recently renovated Grade 2 listed Georgian Manor House. Certainly a grand setting for my images!
Here are just some of the walls and corridors where we placed pictures earlier this year.
