exquisite and breathtaking. ron van dongen is an internationally recognized photographer of botanical studies. born in venezuela and raised in holland, van dongen imbues his images with a vibrant sensuality balanced by quiet restraint. he methodically grows all the plants himself and hand paints each backdrop to suit its subject and mood. van dongen shoots with a large format camera using only natural lights which conspire to slow down the development process while bringing a refined thoughtfulness to the imagery. these spellbinding results are assembled in proof, ops opis and aurora; three oversized and collectible monographs bound in japanese cloth. aurora celebrates the subtleties of light and shadow and the beauty of color and hue within its thirty two duotone plates. limited edition signed copy.
