Welcome to the world of Hungarian freelance visual artist and photographer Flora Borsi. With a surrealist touch, Flora uses her own life, memories, and emotions to execute superbly manipulated images featuring her as the main subject. Transforming every bit of her appearance for her ongoing self-portrait series, Flora used the X1D to capture her flora and fauna inspired creations.

To achieve the right look for this image, I dyed my hair pink. It was worth it anyway. I also added pink colors and tones to the image to be in harmony with my hair. At first, I tried to make this image using a fake orchid, but after taking a trial photo with the X1D, the result was so sharp and high quality that you could see the petals' material texture.

I then went to a florist to buy a real orchid instead. I analysed the characteristics and colours of the flower and used bright white makeup to sort of match its tones. In post, I changed my eye colour from blue to yellow to match my eye to the centre of the flower. After creating a feather wig, I took multiple photos where I threw feathers in the air.

I then merged 5 or 6 photographs into one. Using the same lighting and aperture settings, the pictures looked quite similar; I just had to erase the background of some pictures of the feathers.
