I KNOW how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to find high quality photo references that are also available for commercial use.
If you’re a botanical artist searching for quality reference photos, my Photo Reference Packs for Artists may be exactly what you need. Normally you spend hours searching online for multiple views of the same flower. It’s easy to find a beautiful single shot on sites like Unsplash. But you want to know what that flower looks like from the top, from the side, from the back, in bud form and in full bloom. You want to see the details of the flower, and the structure of how it grows.
Whether your art style is realistic botanical illustration or stylized gouache painting, or something in between, these collections give you the freedom to study the details and create artwork in your own style.
The first Photo Reference Packs will feature floral bouquets and vintage vessels, autumn botanicals and winter greenery. As the seasons change, I’ll add more focused botanical studies of individual flowers and plants that bloom in Spring, Summer and Fall.
Whether you’re illustrating a botanical subject, painting a still life or developing motifs for a surface pattern, these collections are meant to give you more to work from and less time spent searching for references.
Launch price: To be announced.
In addition to botanical photography, I’m developing other practical resources for illustrators and surface pattern designers.
These may include downloadable design tools, templates, and tutorials that share techniques, creative processes, and things I’ve learned through my own illustration and surface design work.
As new resources become available, you’ll find them here.
