Susanne Quilici

I am a mixed media artist & photographer living and working in Los Angeles. I have a passion for floral beauty and the natural world.  I enjoy capturing the color, form and beauty of flowers in all stages of evolution from freshly picked to when they are wilting, brown and dying.

Last year, I purchased an underwater housing for my camera and began experimenting with flowers submerged in water. I was immediately captivated as it appealed to me on an emotional level.  The moving blue water enhances the flowers vibrant color, creating lines, shapes and wonderful abstract compositions. The photographs in my Aqua Flora series are right out of camera with no processing other than minimal retouching if needed.

I am shooting with a renewed vision and playful engagement. I hope you enjoy them!
