Photo shoot with dried flowers

Posted on by Ruth

A kitchen full of dried flower bunches

I had a fun time in my kitchen the other week when photographer Thomas Skovsende came to take some pics for an article in Prima magazine.

Thomas was lovely and put me at my ease straight away. The idea for the shoot was to illustrate an abundance of flowers.

These days, home is still where I will try out new projects, and I sometimes bring home large bouquet orders so that I can work in the most comfortable surroundings.
