Texture Studies: botanical macro image series

A demo built for a specific brief. Not client work: rendered artworks, not photographs.

A curated collection of twelve macro-style botanical images: two each of leaf veins, citrus peel, wood grain, petals, resins and herbs. Each is an original rendered artwork that studies one material's own structure: vein networks with five levels of veins, oil-gland pores in a waxy peel, growth rings with pores and rays, crumpled petal tissue, frosted and clear resin tears, and a sage leaf covered in fine hairs. All twelve share one 100 mm macro lens with a short focus band, warm raking light and backlight, a ten-color palette and one finishing grade, so they read as a single editorial, tactile set. Finished as 2400 px JPEGs with 1600 px web copies and a contact sheet.
