Sakura Study No. 1 – Original Hand-Embroidered Film Photograph
 
The Story Behind the Work
Springtime in Greenwich Park: The photograph highlights the Sakura blossoms in Greenwich Park. I particularly love how the film picked out the soft greens in the leaves alongside the pinks, giving the whole scene a nostalgic mood.
Captured on Vintage Film: Shot using my Pentax ME Super a vintage 35mm camera that is older than I am!
Expired Film: Using expired film stocks brings out those lovely, unpredictable colour shifts, heavy grain, and soft, warm tones that digital just can't recreate.
Hand-Stitched Precision: Working directly into the print, I hand-embroidered geometric patterns across the image. Each thread colour is chosen to mirror and complement the natural hues of the blossoms, sky, and foliage.
