The whole portfolio gives the sense of an airy spring. Each photograph has an incredibly soft focus, giving the viewer the ability to see the light passing through these delicate structures of petals and leaves.

The use of natural light creates a sense of warmth and vitality that perfectly complements the subject matter. Hematically structured, the visual voyage begins at the microscopic level and progresses through an examination of the flower as a small universe, the beauty of divine proportions, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment until eventually luxuriating in the gargantuan, heavenly, and endless.

A characteristic image is a close-up of a wildflower blooming secretly out of the dark. The shallow depth of field creates a sense of intimacy, drawing the viewer's attention to the intricate details of the closed petals and the delicate structure of the stem. The soft, ethereal quality of the light in this image is particularly effective, creating a sense of wonder and awe.

Sofia Koukoulioti’s portfolio of wild flora images taken during the springtime is a breathtaking collection of images that celebrates the ethereal and sublime beauty of spring. The attention to detail, composition, and the use of light in these images are masterful and reveal a deep understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
