Jeanette Misic is a photographer living and working in Woiwurrung country( Melton Victoria). For this portrait I asked Misic to take me to a favourite location for her macro photography. In this photoshoot Misic chose the Melton Botanical Gardens. These gardens are a curated collection of native flora which provides incredible opportunities to connect close up with insects and flowers. I asked her why she takes close up photographs of insects and flowers. She replied ‘there are so many beautiful flowers and insects interacting with each other. There are bees, hover flies, beetles, spiders, ants and butterflies. It is an amazing tiny world of light, texture and colour’.
