Rummage of Flowers

01 CALLA LILY

Guia used the flowers to empower her subject and convey fragility

Lens Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM Exposure 1/160 sec, f/1.4, ISO160

NAME: Guia Besana

LOCATION: Barcelona, Spain

MISSION: Capture strength and power in women using flowers as props

KIT: Canon EOS R & Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM

I started out in photojournalism, however I made the move from fact to fiction after the birth of my daughter in 2007, and the internal conflict I found myself facing as a new parent with professional ambitions.

My project Rummage of Flowers was shot with the EOS R and the Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM lens. I wanted to play with themes of fragility, power, and indecision.

When a woman overcomes fragility, that’s when she becomes powerful. Women can be strong and unsure of what they want. I wanted to try to capture that in my models. I don’t pick pro models, because they know how to pose, instead street casting gives me subjects who are not so used to standing in front of a camera.

02 GERBERA

The gerbera daisy symbolizes purity, innocence and beauty
