Botanical Portraits, As Chosen By…, the last project of Kate Friend is a series of still-life images photographed in the homes, studios and gardens of notable creatives and public figures. “I approached a bunch of people I wanted to meet and asked them to choose a flower for me to photograph”, she says. “I shot their flower on location, erecting a temporary studio each time.”
Kate says this is a series “about place, about people, and about the way we interpret and adopt plants.”
Botanical Portraits is showing at the Garden Museum in London from June 11 – August 1 2021

“I have about four varieties of Euphorbia in my garden. They’re tough, self-seeding and don’t need a lot of attention. But what I love most about them is that they look ‘alien’ amongst everything else, and are so incredibly majestic when they bloom. I always think of each flower as lots of tiny cups with ‘ladybirds’ inside“.
