Still Life

Still Life is a photographic celebration of the work of New York City-based florist, artist, and photographer Doan Ly and her studio, a.p. bio. Ly's stunning work elevates floral design to an art form. While photographs of her floral vignettes are reminiscent of old masters' still life paintings, her playful and innovative use of color and lighting are decidedly contemporary. This spectacular collection of Ly's own exquisite photographs of her still life creations is unlike any other floral design book. Still Life captures Ly's unique and inspiring aesthetic, which has drawn a dedicated following on social media. Also included is a custom design charette by Ly that provides insight into the style elements that she employs, including information on how to mix flowers, color, scale, texture, vases, accessories, and lighting to create original floral displays, settings, and events.
