Botanica

 From the exotic - angel's trumpets, passion flowers and pincushions - to the familiar - lillies, roses and begonias - the flowers Schatz photographs have never looked quite like this before, and yet it is their natural beauty that shines through every page of this sumptuous volume. Annotations at the back of the book, accompanied by miniature reproductions of the full-page plates, identify each variety and provide both common and Latin names. Schatz's unique presentation and photographic style make this a compelling gift for both flower lovers and connoisseurs of fine photography.

Review: 'Schatz combines exquisite image detail, intensity and contrasting light with expression of line, colour and shape. Ordinary and familiar flowers are dramatically transformed from reality to imagination and back again. It seems that through Schatz's uncanny ability to pre-visualise through the macro lens, the true essence of a plant is revealed...This is a book for plant lovers, photographers, design and horticultural professional and botanists alike' - NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN
