Scenes From the Flower Fields

I've been working on my Flower Fields Project, so will post some of the shots over the next few days. The goal of the project is to show the fields in the context of the human element, in this case the men and women that tend the fields and harvest the flowers. They do very hard work in an amazingly beautiful natural environment, and this is their story. The Fields are open to the public and photography is allowed and encouraged, but still I want to respect their privacy and try not to show their full face. In many cases this is easy since they often wear bandanas across their face to protect them from the elements. If not I use camera angles that obscure some of their features.

The yellow, despite its beauty is overwhelming. I like that in this shot because that harshness is emphasizing the efforts of the worker who probably doesn't have time or energy to stand back and appreciate the beauty. V+

Wonderful image with the human element surrounded by the beauty of the flowers.

I feel the moment is beautiful and matches the incredible beauty of the color!
A return to the fields is always exciting for me.

It looks like Eden's garden but the body expression of the worker tells another story.

A man past prime for the job I suspect. Nevertheless fine image of him in a classic background. "V

Spectacular color in this fine capture. I also appreciate seeing the people who work so hard to get the rest of us flowers.

super shot...the telephoto compression pays dividends in terms of total immersion in the scene..
