Forty-two and You Photography

Forty-two and You Photography My camera has been my third arm since the Polaroid I had as a kid. In college, I took the opportunity to truly learn about photography.

📸 Photographer, capturing nature’s beauty 🌸
✨My work combines traditional photography with manual editing, pure artistry!
👉 Explore my work and join the journey: fortytwoandyouphotography.com I fell in love with the meditative processes of the camera, film processing, and photo editing. My favorite process was Gum Bichromate, a combination of photography, paint, and sunlight to process the images

. After college, I worked as a wedding photographer second shooter, and a portrait photographer in a family-oriented studio. I thoroughly enjoyed photographing people, but then I found a passion for capturing nature. Flowers are my muse and the focus of my collection. The colors, shapes, and textures are intriguing and complicated. I get goosebumps when I can capture a bloom perfectly to make it feel like you can grab it off the paper after printing. With each image I capture I have a vision of how I want the final piece to look. Not only do I use my mirrorless digital camera, but I also use current editing software to craft my image. I do not use AI in any part of my editing or photography. I manually make each adjustment to brighten the colors or bring out clarity. I strive to create photography art so that you feel like you are standing right there with me. The “you” in 42-and-you is for all the photography lovers who enjoy my art and support my small business; none of this would be possible without YOU

"Secret Love" // https://www.fortytwoandyouphotography.com/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art_print_products/1-flower

These Red Geraniums were photographed with my Sony a7RIII and then edited with current photography software to create the black background to help the red petals stand out and shine on their own.

Known for their vibrant colors, these plants have become a symbol of love, friendship, and loyalty in many cultures. Among other spiritual meanings, there is a legend associated with red geraniums comes from the Victorian era. It was believed that if a woman received a bouquet of red geraniums from a man, it meant that he had a secret love for her. This tradition was so popular that it led to the creation of a language of flowers, where different flowers were used to convey different messages.

Labor Day always lands a little differently for people who make things for a living.

Today's slower pace is a good reminder of the effort behind every finished work, including "A Sea of Violet," today's feature.

Slow it down and take some time to browse my online gallery this weekend.

Today's design reminder: one of the easiest ways to create a cohesive space is by paying attention to tone rather than theme.

A warm wood frame paired with warm wood floors, or artwork with cooler tones in a room that already leans cool, can instantly make a space feel more intentional.

Nothing has to match perfectly. Wood grains don't need to be identical, and neither do the colors throughout your room. Simply deciding whether your space feels predominantly warm or cool is a great place to start.

And don't be afraid to mix in the opposite tone here and there. A little contrast often adds the interest that makes a room feel complete.

Today's Feature: "My Heart Is Yours"
