TITLE: Exploding seed heads

This photo belongs to a series taken out of a sense of despair, at not being able to photograph as much as I used to because I'm suffering from Long Covid since a very long time. The few photos I take are captured in my garden, or I shoot my garden plants indoors – like these exploding Tragopogon pratensis seedheads.

AUTHOR: Rachele Z. Cecchini (Austria)

I’m an italian-austrian photographer, born and grown up in Italy and living in Salzburg, Austria.

I discovered photography very late, during a long and difficult period of my life and only one year later I gave up my old jobs and started to work as a freelance photographer and journalist for many international magazines and publishers.

I am mostly an outdoor photographer and I work exclusively with existing light.

I am fascinated by the apparently insignificant and by ephemeral and small details in nature. Observing and photographing nature and animals is indispensable to calm my soul and my hearth. On the other hand focusing on social themes is a need for me as a human being.

My photos have been awarded many times in internationally renowned photo competitions.
