Feeling the need to “explore new media and possibilities for creating art”, going beyond the traditional and conventional, and mixing in silent science, photographer Robert Buelteman created his original photography technique., in principle, and everything that is needed in order to get such glowing flower arrangements.
The process of creating these unique images is so complex that the 55-year-old photographer spent 10 years working an average of 60 hours a week and produced only 80 photographs.
Working in total darkness, Robert Buelteman begins by placing flowers and leaves on transparencies, overlaying organic glass on top, and between them a metal plate floating in liquid silicone. An electrical impulse then passes through it all, which causes corona discharges to appear on the film. The last and final part of the process of creating photographs is painting with white light emanating from a fiber optic cable. Robert Buelteman can try 150 times before he gets the desired result. The photographs capture the enchanting blue glow surrounding the leaves, petals and stems, as well as plant colors we have never seen in nature.
“I use light and the power of photography to create my work, just like artists use paints and brushes to paint their paintings,” explains Robert Buelteman. “A plant or flower is a depicted object, like a bowl of fruit or a person from which a still life or portrait is painted, respectively, the electrical panel on which the plant is applied is a canvas, and a fiber-optic cable emitting light is a brush with which the desired image.
Rob Buelteman, who has been photography for the past 20 years, also wrote a book called Signs of Life detailing his unique photography technique.
