A Garden Story in Pictures

A single picture might be worth a thousand words but a group of photos doesn’t need words—they communicate the story without text.

When I photograph a garden, I try to keep this in mind. The key is to capture the big picture with an overview shot and then illuminate the details with vignettes and close-ups.

Here is an example of the concept at work with 6 photos of the Sunk Garden at Great Dixter House & Gardens, East Sussex, England.
