Internationally acclaimed, award-winning photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter have been life partners and creative collaborators for over 3 decades. In 1992, they discovered and fell in love with California's spectacular wildflower blooms in the Mojave Desert's Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. This inspired their 27 year journey photographing wildflowers throughout the West. In 2016, their documentary art project became a traveling exhibit, “Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change.” Their new award-winning book a companion to this exhibit has 190 images and essays by 16 passionate environmental leaders, scientists and nature writers to inspire hope and action.

Thank you for your comments. Please accept my most sincere apologies for the delay in replying to your comment. We spend an average of 45 minutes creating individual floral portraits. When Rob was through photographing a wildflower he often gently kissed the petals out of love and gratitude for the flower's presence and beauty. To us there is definitely a most amazing source of love and creativity that has brought each beautiful flower into our world.
