“Flowers are living art, constantly changing and my daily inspiration.”

​

Debi Shapiro sees flowers as living art — ever changing, fleeting, and full of emotion. Her passion for photography began at sixteen with her first camera and led to studies in fabric design and photography at Syracuse University.

​

After decades working alongside a renowned fashion photographer in New York City, she turned her lens to flowers, blending a fashion photographer’s eye with a painter’s sense of detail.

​​

Inspired by the Dutch Golden Age, early classical botanical engravings, and Georgia O’Keeffe’s sensual flowers, Debi’s Floral Portraits celebrate the quiet, radiant beauty of flowers as they unfold and transform.

​

Her book, Beauty in Bloom: Floral Portraits, is a love letter to flowers, capturing their fragile yet resilient beauty in radiant detail.

​

“With every floral portrait I create, I’ve come to realize that life is a journey of transformation and fleeting moments — from bud to delicate decay.”
