Artist's Comments

This is the first in a series of 10 images that I am creating for my senior project. The series is called "Butterfly Flowers". This particular flower is called the Butterfly Clerodendrum Clerodendrum ugandense and is native to Africa. The butterfly scales used are from the Grey Pansy Junonia atlites which is native to South Asia.

The Process:
Flowers taken in my studio with my 40D+100mm macro and strobe lighting with a black fabric background.

The RAW files are adjusted and converted to jpg.

The butterflies were taken in RAW as well at the Butterfly House in Whitehouse Ohio with the 300D+100 mm macro and 500D filter

The flowers and butterflies are then combined in Photoshop.

The final images will be printed on dA canvas with "Butterfly I" as a 16 by 20 and the rest as 11 by 14.

Very nice! The colors of the flowers go well with the butterflies, and this looks like it could be a real plant. :)

swinging in a tree
How many dead men
do you see?
Tongue turned blue and
face gone grey
Watch them as they
twist and sway..."
