DISCOVER THE ART OF BOTANICAL PORTRAITURE

For the photographer Kate Friend’s new portrait series, she asked her subjects – figures from the worlds of fashion, art and gardening, including Margaret Howell, Juergen Teller and Molly Goddard – to choose a favourite flower, weed or tree that best represents themselves on camera. The biographical botanical was then styled and shot by Friend, in the context of each collaborator’s home or studio. As the peculiarly personal images go on display at the Garden Museum, three participants share the sentiment behind their plant of choice. mcc

‘Kate Friend: Botanical Portraits’ is at the Garden Museum (www.gardenmuseum.org.uk) until 1 August.
