Per-Olof Stoltz - Wild pansy

This is an exhibition print from the project "The herbarium of Anne-Marie" in 2015. It contained images made from scanning dried plants from an old herbarium (ca 1930's) with a scanner made to scan slides. This made the plants being lit through instead of on, and the smallest of details showed. Then the images were processed in Photoshop to pick up the colors hidden in the greyish specimen. The results are images of great detail and color of these flowers once picked by a little girl almost 100 years ago for her schoolproject.
The print is made on Canson Photo Rag 310 gram and is 50x70 centimeters.

Photographer Per-Olof Stoltz is a Swedish documentary photographer, postoltz.jimdofree.com.

The two last images are of the actual herbarium and those objects are NOT for sale, only published for reference.
