Botanical Inquiry 系列摄影“植物学调查”中，这位悉尼的摄影师探索了城市基础设施边缘植物和花朵如何融入现代世界。 Shipp 收集了看似无关的植物，并拍摄了建立的dioramas的主题，这种环境允许他以可控的精度来操纵前景和背景之间的关系。通过这个过程，他能够在相机中创建戏剧性照片，以数字拍摄，但使用为早期电影开发的旧视觉效果技术。
“There are some beautiful ‘weeds’ that we might walk past all the time,” Shipp explains to Colossal. “I knew that if I could present these often unnoticed plants in the right context that there was potential for storytelling. Next time you go for a walk make an effort to look for plants in places you wouldn’t normally—shopping center carparks, service stations etc.”
