But it can be tricky to know where to begin, with so much potential everywhere. Fear not, as I’ll show you how to find the best local blooms (even if that’s your own garden), figure out the best times to shoot them, and share my compositional and shooting tricks for stunning shots.
We’ll take a closer look at how we can photograph everything from basic buds to nature’s awe-inspiring carpets of colour. Starting at the beginning – since the first and fundamental necessity is always composition – we’ll look at how to design pleasing floral images. While fields of flowers and gardens may look magnificent in person, they can seem a little bit lacking when reproduced in two-dimensional form, which doesn’t necessarily make the best images, so we’ll discover how to inject some creativity into our shots.
And remember, just because a lot of this is for landscapes, that doesn’t mean that you can’t apply these techniques to your own garden! So without further delay, let’s immerse ourselves in the natural beauty that surrounds us.
