Fine art flower photography by Jonas Andréasson

“My name is Jonas Andréasson and I am a flower photographer from Sweden. I was born 31 years ago not very far from Råshult, the birthplace of Carl Linnaeus, who gave all flowers their Latin names and laid the foundation for the botanical sciences. Photography and nature have been passions for much of my life. I have lived, traveled, and photographed regions of the United States, China, Europe and the Middle East before finally returning to the nature I grew up in as a child.

My two main tools are sunlight and patience. Often, it will require close to 1000 images of only one flower until it ultimately feels right. I am willing to do this because I want to take flower photography to another level. It is not enough that the image is beautiful, it must be exceptionally beautiful and it must convey a clear message that leads to reflection and dialogue about its meaning. To capture every flower’s natural beauty I only shoot outdoors without artificial flashes or studio lighting. Although many other photographers use images that are a result of manipulation by a computer program such as Photoshop, I know that it is the sun’s rays which truly create these amazing effects. Everything is naturally beautiful.” ~ Jonas Andréasson
