About the Studio

Bone, Bloom & Rust is an Atlanta-based, studio-driven photography practice founded in 2026. The work begins with still-life studies of tulips, approached not simply as flowers, but as living forms that naturally express movement, balance, and connection.

The studio grew from a quiet fascination with how tulips respond when observed up close—how stems lean toward one another, how petals gather or unfold, and how their posture begins to feel expressive in ways that are subtle but deeply familiar. Each photograph is created through slow, attentive studio work, allowing the flowers to guide the composition through their natural rhythm rather than being forced into decorative arrangement.

Over time, these floral studies began to feel less like traditional still-life photography and more like a way of noticing the small gestures that shape how we care for one another. The work explores softness, steadiness, trust, and presence—emotions that often live in everyday moments rather than grand events.

Bone, Bloom & Rust was built around the belief that meaningful artwork should live alongside us, not just hang on gallery walls. The studio extends its photography into thoughtfully designed prints, greeting cards, wearable pieces, and everyday carry items. These pieces allow the work to move naturally through daily life, offering small visual reminders of connection, encouragement, or quiet joy.

Some people frame the work in personal spaces as a place to pause and breathe. Others share it through cards when they want to express care in a simple, heartfelt way. Wearable pieces allow the imagery to travel with the wearer, creating subtle, personal forms of self-expression rooted in softness and strength.

All Bone, Bloom & Rust pieces are produced in small, made-to-order runs. This boutique studio approach keeps each offering closely connected to the original photographic practice, prioritizing intention, quality, and thoughtful creation over mass production.

At its heart, Bone, Bloom & Rust is about paying attention—to natural movement, to emotional connection, and to the quiet ways people show care for one another. The studio exists to translate those small but powerful gestures into artwork that can be framed, worn, carried, and shared as part of everyday life.
