This photograph was taken at Katsute Gongen-do, where I selected a pure white, perfectly shaped Annabelle hydrangea and captured it in close-up to convey the beauty of the flower. Hydrangeas along the walking path can create striking shadows when natural light is skillfully utilized. The appeal lies in how changing your approach based on time of day and weather can yield completely different atmospheres in your work, even at the same location.
