London, Mar 2 (ANI): An artist in the US has turned her pictures she took of nude models into stunning floral creations with the help of her computer.

Artist Cecelia Webber, 25, from Los Angeles, California, carefully poses her models to produce the shapes she requires and then digitally cuts, rotates and colours the bodies and limbs to create her finished images.

In a typical piece, which sells for up to 500 pounds, an arm may be the stem, a hand the seed and several legs the petals.

Webber has created incredibly realistic blue bells, dandelions, maple leaves, sunflowers and cherry blossom, among many others, and she takes up to two months photographing and editing each image.

“I was taking a series of nude photographs and was particularly struck by one that looked a great deal like a petal,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

“I wondered if I would be able to create a full flower from it and began experimenting from there.

“It can take a great deal of time to get the correct photograph and I often take more than 50 photos of a single pose to bring what I see in my head into reality.

“My process is very organic and involves a great deal of experimentation. An image can take up to two months to produce, though the time varies greatly depending on the complexity of the piece.

“I typically plan the poses I photograph, but I am always watching for unexpected forms that come about as a result of the process.

“Nudity is sometimes thought of as shameful thing, inspiring guilt or fear, but I hope to encourage people to think differently about their own bodies.

“I have had very good feedback across the board from people and feel very fortunate,” she added. (ANI)
