Tim Platt’s Flower Portraits series has earned the Gold award in the 10th Fine Art Photography Awards 2024.
This latest international recognition follows his first prize at the 2023 International Photography Awards and his winning entry in the Tokyo International Foto Awards 2023.
Tim Platt’s ongoing ‘Flora’ series of fine art prints continues to receive international recognition. Tim explores the often-overlooked beauty of the natural world by transforming ordinary flowers into vibrant works of art that bring color and life into any home or office setting. His attention to detail and dedication to quality result in iconic macro photographs with an almost hyper-realistic effect.
FLORA Collection
As Tim Platt’s breathtakingly detailed flower portraits win top honours in prestigious international fine art photography awards, he continues to capture and immortalise the ephemeral beauty of nature in his latest collection, ‘Flora’.
This series, recently awarded first prizes in the International Photography Awards 2023 and Fine Art Photography Awards 2024, explores nature’s intricate botanical details, transforming these observations into hyper-real masterpieces when scaled up as fine art prints on your wall. Each image within his ‘Flora’ collection is merged from many shots at different focal points to enhance depth of focus, detail and clarity.
Sweet Pea
A colorful garden favourite, the delicate and abstract quality of Tim Platt’s award-winning Sweet Pea image evokes summery feelings of gratitude and happiness.
The Sweet Pea, or Lathyrus, is known for its delicate, sweet fragrance and a rainbow of different colors. It has a long blooming period of late spring through summer, making it an attractive accent to any garden. The flowers have a delicate, abstract quality, usually with 5 petals that form a butterfly-shaped structure – one large banner petal, two horizontal petals and two lower petals.
As a prime example of Tim’s acclaimed Flower Portraits series, this piece combines his in-depth technical skills with an appreciation for small, often unseen details. This creative approach to flower photography has once again earned him a gold award in the Fine Art Photography Awards 2024. Add this award-winning image to a series or feature it as a standalone statement. It will enhance any space with grace and charm.
Parrot Tulip Bud
Tim Platt’s photograph “Parrot Tulip Bud” is another winning entry in the International Photography Awards 2023. It beautifully captures the moment right before the tulip’s feathery petals burst open, its subtle colors set to saturate into vivid purples, reds, greens, and yellows.
The bud embodies nature’s intensifying energy within it. This Rainbow Parrot tulip, a symbol of unconditional love, has an almost three-dimensional sculptural quality. Printed on smooth Photo Rag, a 308 gsm heavyweight art paper, this dramatic image will become a conversation piece in any room.
Whirlygig Cape Daisy
This tiny flower is just 25mm wide. Tim Platt’s fascination with photographing flowers is observing the remarkable detail within nature’s design. The closer you get, the more you see.
These unusual flowers are part of the Osteospermum family, and derive their name from their distinctive crimped or spooned petals. They originate from southern areas of Africa but can be grown in pots in more northern climes. This flower signifies silence and purity.
This image is focus-stacked using 130 shots at slightly different focal points in order to create sufficient depth of field from front to back. This technique is a time consuming process, but is the only way to achieve such deep focus when working with a macro lens. Available for purchase as an archival limited edition print on fine art paper.

Tim is an award-winning fine art and advertising photographer who runs a busy studio in central London. He has worked with many global brands over the years but has always combined these commissions with developing his own personal creative practice. This is work that looks most at home in a frame on a wall.
His photography is inspired by a fascination for small details that may otherwise remain unnoticed. A captured moment, frozen in time, allows us to observe the world in suspension and will sometimes reveal a graphic beauty that might otherwise flash by in the blink of an eye to be gone forever.
Having worked for many years with meticulous advertising clients Tim is a perfectionist, obsessed with quality which he applies to every stage of his creative practice. From the technical skills required both behind the camera and during his post-production processing, to the creation of his beautiful limited-edition fine art prints.
However, he believes that although craft and technique should not be underestimated, it is a mysterious neural connection between the eye and the brain that makes great images, and technique should remain safely behind the scenes. Nowhere does this connection matter more than when an image is framed on a wall, where it will be enjoyed for many years to come.
International Photography Awards (IPA) winner 2022 and 2023, and Fine Art Photography Awards (FAPA) 2024.
Tim recently won first place in the Nature/Flowers category in the prestigious Fine Art Photography Awards 2024, and the International Photography Awards 2023 for his macro Flower Portraits series. These images use a focus stacking technique to enhance clarity and definition at large print sizes. This is achieved by merging many shots at slightly different focal increments which creates a deep-focus effect.
He also won first place in the Fine Art/ Abstract category in the International Photography Awards 2022 for his Botanical Opticals project based on his recent stills and motion work with flowers.
Tim says of his Botanical Opticals series: “The mandala patterns promote a sense of relaxation and wellbeing. They are both absorbing and visually stimulating and encourage viewers to focus on something beautiful and hypnotic that is inspired by the natural world. The mandala is a symbol used in Buddhism and Hinduism to represent the universe. It was also the famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s chosen archetype for the whole self. An archetype in the deeper layer of unconscious Jung called the ‘Collective Unconscious’. A universal part of our unconscious that we all share. They are beautiful symbols to meditate with and focus on, and visually vibrate with a calm, balanced energy.”
