FLORAL
Richard Fischer
Ambassador of Flowers
Philosophy
Richard Fischer is the Ambassador of Flowers, but he has been the ambassador for generations, his visions for sustainability and commitment serving as an inspiration to us all. Richard continuously and assiduously employs his talent to create awareness through beautiful, stunningly intricate images of endangered florals. Thereby giving them a forum on a pictorial stage never seen before. His third floral art book provides the viewer a different perspective and more in-depth evidence of his continued commitment and complementary philosophical approach to a sustainable planet. Hopefully, these “up close,” intimate images will create the awareness needed to keep this beauty alive – not only in these magical photographic moments.
A new coffee table art book published in September 2023 in English and in German, worldwide available with teNeues Publishing House established in Berlin, London, New York and Paris. From a collection consisting of hundreds of images, 98 have been specially selected, carefully designed and finally printed in premium quality for the viewers enjoyment.
Photographer Richard Fischer is internationally regarded as the ambassador of flowers. For many years, he has staged graceful and endangered floral specimens in his photo studio, capturing each flower's uniqueness and transience. In collaboration with the world's leading botanical gardens, his strikingly original images provide the flowers with an aesthetic framework in which their power of expression and majesty remain intact. Fischer's precise yet delicate floral compositions record the unique color, form, and texture of each flower, thereby highlighting the extraordinary beauty, diversity, and fragility of the natural world. Fischer's inimitable flower photographs have bestowed him with exhibitions around the world: In Paris, London, and Tokyo, at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, and the renowned China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. Richard Fischer's prints are highly sought after collector's items in the art photography market. Calendars of his flower images appear annually.
Richard Fischer brings together his best floral close ups spanning 20 years in one flower photography book, showcasing his artwork and floral exotica. Throughout the volume, the photographs are accompanied by philosophical and poignant anecdotes, leading the reader through an unknown and, sadly, dwindling world of flowers.

ALL NATURE IS PICTURE

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS
Depth of Field, Light-paintings and others
Things less complex are often better understood and more appreciated than those that appear too complicated. Simplicity is preferable to complexity. The power of simplicity is universal truth; its authenticity applies to all areas of life. Making more out of less in your visualizations will surprise you how powerful such images can be.
Experimenting with depth of field and light-painting tools proved to be quite a challenging endeavour in the digital age of photography.
Many years of auto-didactically experimenting and learning processes finally led Richard Fischer to where he is today, working in an entire new ambiance of expression: playing with human perception, fundamentally questioning traditional points of view, and thereby redefining the established observations.
Ongoing creative development and continual adjustments have allowed the artist to pursue new means and methods of visual transformation. The results are exhilarating, distinctive and, ultimately, one of a kind.
Light-painting, utilized in Richards art work is enlightenment, creating a unique depth of field that certainly will lead to profound deeper visions.
ART OF LESS
BEAUTY IN IT'S SIMPLEST FORM,
MYSTERIOUS AND POWERFUL.
ART & SCIENCE
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.
It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
Albert Einstein
With his masterpieces of floral art Richard Fischer demonstrates the beauty of artistic photography with a profound breeze of science. His IUCN CEC membership testifies his successful approach.
Fischer’s concept goes beyond science to capture the essence and present it to a world wide audience. Beauty in its simplest form, mysterious and powerful.
Scientists estimate that many of Fischer’s flowers will have become extinct within our lifetime.
