Portraits by Kate Friend
As Chosen By... Published by Ridinghouse.
Introduction by Olivia Laing. Text by Christopher Woodward. Portraits of flowers chosen by creative artists from Cosey Fanni Tutti and Anjelica Huston to Olivia Laing and Piet Oudolf In this series of photographic portraits by British photographer Kate Friend, shot exclusively on film, the sitters are flowers or plants—chosen by various creatives or recognizable public figures, including architects, actors, designers, gardeners, writers, musicians and chefs. The result is a single flower and vessel, chosen by the sitter and shot in natural light at their home, studio or garden. Each individual is recast through their botanical alter ego.
