In the eerie embrace of Halloween, nothing quite captures the spine-tingling essence like black and white flowers. Against the backdrop of a moonlit night, these monochromatic blooms exude an uncanny charm, their petals a delicate dance between light and shadow. Black roses, with their dark velvety allure, evoke a sense of mystery, while white lilies symbolize purity in the face of darkness. Together, they create a spectral harmony, casting an enchanting spell upon the Halloween night. These flowers, like silent phantoms, whisper tales of ancient mysteries, adding a touch of chilling elegance to the season’s festivities. Amidst the jack-o’-lanterns and haunted houses, black and white flowers bloom, embodying the essence of Halloween’s enigmatic allure.

Leo Busscher, photographer
I am a costume designer, some would say “of note”, who has worked more than 6 decades in clothing and fabric, mostly in the world of theatre, musical theatre, television, film, and spectacles with production teams in the Netherlands, which was home for close to 60 of my 85 years.
I want to thank my husband Joe Francis, who pushed me to work on these photographs from the original flowers, and conceived and created this book to explore the beauty of my photography.
Also, I wish to thank Catherine Mackey, my studio mate, who has encourged my work and craft, and whose tables, paint, and brushes are present in many of the images in this site.
