The camera is a chunky old-school film body, the kind with the rectangular top plate, the hot-shoe mount detail, and a big convex lens taking up the front face. Sandy tan and grey fill the body with a pale blue tint on the lens glass that catches the eye first. The level of mechanical detail here is genuinely impressive for a textile piece, the stitching on the top dials and the textured grip areas is doing alot of work.
Then the flowers come in from both sides and thats where it gets interesting. Pink poppies with blush-to-deep-rose satin petals and small dark centres cluster around the top and bottom, and dark teal leaf clusters fill the gaps. Its the contrast between the mechanical precision of the body and the looseness of the botanical shapes that makes this one different from most photography designs Ive seen. 13 colours, 13 colour changes, so plan for a sit-down stitching session. A customer who does photography messaged me last spring to say she stitched the medium 5-inch run for a black sweatshirt for her graduation portrait and it looked genuinely professional.
Nine sizes from just over 3 inches wide up to 6.5 in wide, stitch count from 15,132 up to 40,467. Use a medium-weight cutaway on cotton knits, the lens detail needs good stabilisation on any fabric with give. Hoop tight and add a water-soluble topping on textured fabric so the petal satin stitches dont sink in. Tear-away on woven canvas is fine. Skip cheap polyester thread on the flower fill areas, it flattens out and loses the depth. Text me if anything about the file seems off and Ill check it straight away.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
