Nature’s unending beauty is a source of fascination and inspiration for many artists. Constantly renewing itself, the cycle of growth to decay and back again creates numerous levels of artistic exploration. British still-life and landscape photographer, John Blakemore, has been capturing its beauty since the mid 1950s. His images form unintentional patterns from ripples in water to tulip petals. See more of his work in the recently released book which charts his long career.
