Photography: Soulcatcher Studio: Karl Blossfeldt Photogravures


"Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) was a German instructor of sculpture who used his remarkable photographs of plant studies to educate his students about design in nature. Self-taught in photography, he devoted himself to the study of nature, photographing nothing but plants for thirty-five years."
Many of the photos show plants resembling architectural elements.
