Simone Baumeister says:
I shot the snowdrops as a multiple exposure. The colored lights were created by my mobile phone with changing lights, which I positioned behind the flower. By changing the camera position and the color changes, this psychedelic rush of color was created. I had been trying to photograph snowdrops for years, but I was always dissatisfied with the results. So I wanted to try experimentally to create a slightly different photo. It took a few tries before I liked the distribution of the flowers as well as the color distribution.

Simone Baumeister
Germany
I was born in Germany in 1974 in the northernmost part of Münsterland and still live there. In my immediate surroundings, I have a wide range of different habitats. I like to deal intensively with individual animal or plant species and then deal with a species photographically over a longer period. For some years now, I have spent almost every free minute with my camera in nature. What there is to discover when I roam through the forests, meadows, mountains, and moors with alert eyes is simply beautiful. Through photography, I discover and enjoy things that I would have carelessly walked past or simply overlooked before I started taking pictures.
