Flowers aren't everyone's cup of tea, but the latest project from minimalist filmmaker and photographer Andrew Zuckerman could make even the biggest skeptic fall in love with blooms. His book of photography, Flower, renders some familiar species so crisply they're almost unrecognizable as something you'd see in your neighbor's garden.

In Flower, Zuckerman says he aims "to translate the essential nature of his subjects and unearth qualities that have previously escaped scrutiny."
