Wallflower













Beautiful floral walls (and sofas) make a background for some of my favourite photographs. Sometimes they challenge the subject of the picture, try to insist that we give our attention to them. Sometimes they are subtle, and we only notice the detail on our second glance. Either way, these backgrounds make these photographs what they are.

  14. Such beautiful photos!

    I adore floral wallpaper... something very kitsch about it. I'm always wondering around Laura Ashley, Avoca and Urban Outfitters for retro floral everything!

    Wonderful blog - delighted to have found it! Gonna put you on my blogroll x
