The Flowers Still Life Composition 2025 Photo Contest brought attention to the timeless beauty of carefully arranged florals captured through the lens. Celebrating elegance, tone, and craftsmanship in composition, this contest asked photographers to slow down and elevate the ordinary into something poetic and still. From soft lighting and minimal tones to dramatic arrangements and painterly setups, the contest received hundreds of stunning submissions. After careful deliberation, the judges selected three standout winners whose work exemplifies technical precision, creativity, and soul.
Claudia Noble’s image demonstrates grace and harmony in its purest form. Her still life arrangement reflects a painterly control over tone, texture, and light. The composition draws the viewer in with its balance and restrained palette, while the flowers seem to breathe within the frame. Each petal and shadow contributes to the visual rhythm, offering a sense of timeless beauty and peace. It’s a masterfully executed study in stillness and storytelling through detail.
In her second-place photograph, Olga Kulakova combines elegance and emotion through a beautifully arranged floral still life. Her work speaks to the quiet beauty found in everyday objects when given the space and lighting to shine. The composition offers both structure and softness — blending visual storytelling with technical execution. The photograph invites the viewer to pause, observe, and feel — which is the mark of a truly artistic still-life piece.
Deines Rojas approaches floral still-life with a contemporary eye. His image fuses creative styling and modern minimalism, crafting a visual statement that is both expressive and clean. With thoughtful lighting and intentional placement, his image feels modern while still rooted in classical still-life traditions. The result is a work that catches attention while delivering a quiet emotional depth — one that reflects the evolution of still-life photography today.
This contest reminds us that flowers can be far more than decoration — they are expressive tools in the photographer’s visual vocabulary. When composed with thought and care, they tell stories, evoke moods, and highlight the quiet power of still life as a genre. Congratulations to all three winners, and to the many talented photographers who submitted their inspiring work to the Flowers Still Life Composition 2025.
