Portraits of Flowers

About the Book

Portraits of flowers photography. While creating Portrait of Flowers, our wish was that this album might offer a moment of reflection and wonder at the beauty and delicate complexity of flowers. That it might allow the viewer to stop, breathe, and marvel at the natural, simple, yet utterly perfect beauty of flowers.

These photo were taken by us over the course of a year and coalated into a book. Portrait of Flowers is not a scientific publication, nor an essay on the iconography of flowers in art history, nor a study of their influence on culture, beliefs, or traditions. Our intention in creating this album is much simpler: to linger on the beauty of flowering plants. To pause with their colours and forms, and to allow yourself to truly experience their fragile charm.

Photography by Magda Kopijka and Helmut Watterott

Volume II -
Tiny Landscapes Photography

These photos have been taken randomly as found and in natural light. Edited in Black and White to enhance the simplicity and edited to illustrate the obscurity of the tiny scene.

Beauty often hides in the quiet corners - small objects, overlooked spaces, and the subtle details that rarely command attention. When we pause long enough to notice them, the world expands in unexpected ways.

These small views invite us to slow down. Their small scale demands a closer look, encouraging us to lean in, observe texture, shadow, and shape. In these small spaces, beauty is not loud or insistent. It is gentle, obscure, but hidden in plain sight. We begin to understand that wonder doesn’t always arrive in majestic vistas, but often emerges in the everyday: how dust motes drift like tiny galaxies, or how a simple object becomes extraordinary when we pay it close attention.

Finding beauty in the small teaches us presence. It reminds us that meaning is not measured by size, but by observation.

Volume I - The Story So Far

Photobook Volume 1.

My first book of photography. A snapshot of my love for creating images coming back to life. Named only ‘Volume 1’ as a promise of more to come.

Photography has always been a constant in my life, even when it wasn't my main focus. I studied graphic design and photography years ago, immersing myself in the technical and creative aspects of both fields. But as time passed, other commitments took priority. Work, family, and life in general meant that my camera found itself sidelined.

Even so, I never truly let it go. Over the years, I kept taking photos here and there, especially during tours in Scotland. The landscapes here - rugged hills, expansive lochs, and dramatic skies - offer endless inspiration. I also found a fascination with abstract photography, capturing textures, shapes, and patterns in a way that felt uniquely expressive.

After twenty years, I decided it was time to dedicate myself to photography again. It wasn’t a grand moment or emotional realization; it just felt like the right thing to do. The skills were still there, albeit a little rusty, and the passion never left. Now, my camera is back in hand, and I’m reconnecting with the craft that has always been a quiet part of my passion.

Let light paint the way
