The Story Behind the Dragonfly Silhouette
Patience, Persistence, and the Perfect Silhouette
This particular photograph is a true testament to patience. For weeks, a beautiful, large dragonfly was a regular visitor to my garden, but it was always too fast, too far, or perched in an awkward spot. I spent many afternoons observing its routine until I finally anticipated its favourite flower.
On this day, as the sun began to set, the dragonfly paused perfectly on the flower, giving me just a few seconds to capture its stunning profile. The light behind it created this incredible, high-contrast silhouette, turning the tiny create into a dramatic, graphic form.
This black and white print is more than just a photo; it's a celebration of persistence and the fleeting beauty you find when you take the time to truly observe nature. It is offered in various sizes to suit your space, whether you prefer a framed statement piece or a bold poster print.
