Customer Reviews

Wow!

I find every picture captivating in detail, contrast, simplicity, uniqueness. Every time I page through the book I notice more and experience different emotions. To me, this is an artist who has reached me. This is a gift I am sharing with my friends!

It's ALL about the flowers

The rich simplicity of the photographs in this book allows the reader to appreciate the natural intricacy and complexity of each bloom. More than a modern take on the traditional botanical field guide, these photographs discover the sensuality of flowers that surrounds us. The composition of the shots range from stunning to whimsical - a real delight. This book fills a big spot on my Christmas shopping list.

Take a deep breath.

There is a quiet and dynamic energy emanating from the pages of BLOOM. Paul Solberg has illuminated something beyond the surface with an intimacy that leaves me with a sense of peace that only a realization of my connection to nature inspires. Everyone should breathe it in.

Bloom shows flowers in a new light.

I really didnt think any more could be said on the subject of flowers but this work really shines in the spirit of Bleckner and O'keffe. Whats extraordinary to me about these photos is that Solberg was able to capture some beautiful parallels between some of nature's smallest and most fragile creations to those that are vast and indestuctible-- namely Nebullas or deep space images, which is what the compositions remind me of. In short, an incredible effort by an photographer to keep your eye on.

Flowers Like You Have Never Seen Them Before !!

Bloom is like a meditation on flowers. Solberg's photographs make you look at blossoms in a whole new way, purely and without disraction, so you can absorb the essence of the flower and marvel in Mother Nature's handiwork. This is a beautiful book that will you will want to pick up time and time again to inspire you to notice the wonders and beauty in the natural world around you.
