Petal photography

You can choose () to shoot flowers to make them look creative. The answer is as follows:

1. Dramatic escape

Flower photography is usually shot in soft light, which can restore the texture of flowers. You can shoot with scattered light in rainy days and sunsets, or you can create a shadow through shadows, so that the whole flower is shrouded in shadows.

However, if you want to be creative, you can do the opposite and use direct light to create a dramatic scene with high contrast.

For example, you can find a bunch of flowers that are illuminated by direct light and cast a shadow on the background (or point it yourself), so that the subject will stand out in the dark background.

Change your perspective

"Ordinary" flower photography works are often taken from the oblique front of the flower surface to show the posture of petals stretching. But you can also try to shoot different styles from other angles, such as straight ahead, side or below.

For example, you can shoot from the side up with the sky as the background.

Because the sky is brighter than flowers, the picture tends to be high-key, and the light will pass through the petals, which can highlight their texture and texture.

You can also enlarge and focus the petals, abstract them and emphasize their shapes and lines.

3. Large aperture, foreground and background

Using telephoto lens or macro lens, shooting with large aperture and choosing suitable foreground and background scenery can add a lot of points to your work.

You can put a flower in the foreground, and then put one or more of the same flowers in the background to form the effect of virtual and real echo:

You can also put flowers of different colors in the foreground and background, and then turn them into fuzzy soft color blocks with large aperture, which will produce very beautiful visual effects.
