Allan Mandell
BIOGRAPHY
Allan brings an appreciation of the garden as art and a sense of spiritual evocation into his work as a photographer. His images have been published extensively throughout the world over the past seventeen years, earning six photography awards from the Garden Writers Association and features in over sixty books (including six as sole photographer). He lives in Victoria, B.C.
“A garden is a setting for what can be an intensely personal aesthetic and even spiritual experience; in fact this is the result of a well-designed garden. Can this be faithfully represented in an image? This is the goal of learning to see as a garden photographer.”
"When you are alert and contemplate a flower...without naming it mentally, it becomes a window for you into the formless. There is an inner opening, however slight, into the realm of spirit."
