Pandemic Florals

This series was prompted by the pandemic isolation. Since going outdoors was frowned upon I decided to try some desktop photography using my Linhof Technika 4x5. The originals were done in black and white and after scanning, I decided to hand paint them using digital techniques and a tablet. I wanted to use colours that did not occur naturally to impart an ethereal feeling. Original negatives are Ilford Delta 100 scanned using an Imacon scanner
