These large color photographs are from visits to Great Dixter and Sissinghurst gardens, in East Sussex, England, in late spring 2023, and fall, 2025.
The images were made using vintage medium-format film cameras. Shot on rich Portra film, with a shallow depth-of-field and the absence of sky, they give the viewer the feeling of being in among the lush flora.
