ABOUT THESE IMAGES
ONE OF THE MOST EAGERLY ANTICIPATED THINGS I WANTED TO SHOOT AT THE 2012 CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
WAS INTERFLORA’S FLORAL EXHIBIT IN THE GRAND PAVILION. LAST YEAR’S ‘A SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE’ WAS A
STUNNING INSTALLATION WHICH TOOK CONTEMPORARY FLORISTRY TO A NEW LEVEL. AS SUCH, IT WAS
ALWAYS GOING TO BE A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW AND SO IT TURNED OUT. ‘THE MESSAGE’ CERTAINLY
CONTAINED SOME ARTFUL FLORAL DESIGNS AND FROM WHEREVER YOU VIEWED IT THEY WERE SOME
INTERESTING VISTAS. THAT SAID, AS A WHOLE I DON’T THINK IT WAS THAT SUCCESSFUL AND IT WAS
CERTAINLY CHALLENGING TO PHOTOGRAPH. HAD IT BEEN SET IN ITS OWN WHITE ROOM AND BEAUTIFULLY
LIT, IT WOULD HAVE WORKED SO MUCH BETTER RATHER THAN BEING JUST ONE OF MANY EXHIBITS IN AN
UGLY SPACE. AS A RESULT, MY IMAGES ARE ALL TIGHT SHOTS WHICH MEAN YOU DON’T SEE THE OVERALL
DESIGN. WHAT IMMEDIATELY TAKES YOUR EYE IS THE USE OF BOLD, VIBRANT AND EVEN CLASHING COLOURS
AND THE INTERESTING FUSION OF EXOTIC FLOWERS AND PLANTS. LAST YEAR INTERFLORA WON A GOLD,
THIS TIME THEY HAD TO SETTLE FOR A SILVER-GILT. FROM A CONCEPTUAL POINT OF VIEW, I THINK IT WAS A
CASE OF STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE, BUT I SUSPECT ITS BEAUTIFUL FLORISTRY CARRIED IT THROUGH. WITH
HINDSIGHT, I WISH I’D SPENT LONGER PHOTOGRAPHING IT, BUT WITH ONLY 8 HOURS IN WHICH TO COVER THE
ENTIRE SHOW ON PRESS DAY THERE SIMPLY WASN’T THE TIME. I HOPE YOU LIKE THESE IMAGES!
