About Blossfeldt

• He was inspired by nature and the way in which plants grow.

• He believed that 'the plant must be valued as a totally artistic and architectural structure.‘

• He used a homemade camera which could magnify the subject up to 30 times– This revealed details within the plant’s

natural structure
