Biography

Brian Truckenbrodt, a self-taught photographer and ‘scanographer’, presents his Flora Series of images for your consideration.  Originally from Lodi, New Jersey, Brian spent several years in South Carolina and Virginia before settling down in Maryland with his wife and two sons.  His style and technique are the result of years of experimentation and refinement, culminating in the images you see today.  What began as a hobby of drying and pressing flowers has evolved into the creation of beautiful, ultra-high definition floral portraits.

Starting with a freshly cut flower, Brian captures the progression of the bloom as it begins to age and dry.  Over the course of hours, or several days in some cases, the flower undergoes an intense transformation, altering its personality in shape, color, and design.  Each image captures the flower on this journey through time as a witness to the dramatic changes in form, structure, and appearance
