Photography inspired by the land and garden.
"This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists
and is built entirely out of attentiveness."
- Mary Oliver
My name is Paula O'Hara and I'm an Irish floral and garden photographer living in Co.Armagh's misty lowlands between the River Bann and Lough Neagh. I document what I observe in the garden and the surrounding landscape throughout the seasons. I find beauty in the ever-changing light and colour, the interplay of flowers, grasses and foliage as they naturally grow together and their development from a tiny seed to a fading beauty. The photography and floral styling here is about observing those fleeting, ephemeral floral moments and honouring them through my imagery.
"Wherever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul." - Alice Walker
