Event description from the City of Mercer Island website:
David Fishman photographs botanicals like no one else. He is inspired by unusual and bizarre plant species, with color pallets and patterns not often seen. His finished work reveals depth and colors to showcase what nature provides.
David uses elaborate photographic gear, stacking the frames for an infinite depth-of-field. He hyper focuses on interesting elements to bring out the details. The background of many botanical are manually extracted in fine detail even leaving spider webs and pollen grains, providing the viewer with a third dimensional view. Artistic filters are often used for a unique effect.
Through his art, David hopes to share his awe and wonder, and to educate those that view his stunning, oftentimes bizarre botanical portraits.
