These images were taken on Harpenden Common, during the Covid pandemic. The Common is a large area adjacent to Harpenden containing woodlands and open meadowland with a profusion of wildflowers. The objective of this portfolio was to capture and illustrate the vivid colours and shapes of wildflowers against the more sombre and complex background of grasses.

This has been achieved by separately photographing the wildflowers on a lightbox and superimposing them on textures of toned flowers and grasses, using appropriate software. Specimens used include; thistle, poppy, red campion, buttercups, daisies, pea and clover.
