Amy Ouderkirk is a fine art photographer whose floral portraits are striking studies in elegance and form. Using refined composition and dramatic lighting, she captures the quiet power of each bloom, offering a fresh perspective on nature’s beauty.

Her process begins with sourcing the perfect bloom, whether from her garden, neighborhood, or growers around the world. She combines anywhere from 10 to 40 photographs to achieve full focus and detail, with careful attention to light and composition. Only a small fraction of flowers are photographed, and fewer still are chosen for her final collections.
