Floral Art Prints

Lorén O’Connor’s Fine Art floral prints have consistently been acknowledged at New Zealand’s top photographic competitions. Created from florals grown on her Hawke’s Bay flower farm, her fine art style reveals hidden stories and embraces the darkness along with the light.

Fine Art Portraits

Lorén’s fine art studio portraits celebrate women in a painterly, illustrative and intentional way. Her boudoir sessions focus on attention to detail with both lighting and editing, and provide a creative contrast to other work that makes heroes of ordinary people, especially those with rural roots.

Lorén’s Vision

As a fine art photographer, Lorén has a highly intentional creative process. Knowing instinctively how she wants her portraits and floral artworks to look when printed and framed, she uses her extensive knowledge of light, composition and editing to craft artworks that - depending on the mood and subject - can be light and bright, or dark and fraught with latent tension.
