Flowers are one of the best subjects in photography. Aside from their innate beauty, they are also good to take photos of due to their poetic appearance. But sometimes, photographing flowers requires more than the equipment and skills that the photographer has. Instead, it’s all about playing with the most common elements of photography to bring out the best of the subject, and here are some ideas.
An eye for excellent composition is one of the most important skills a photographer should have. It is a vital factor that determines the success of a photo; when shooting flowers, the composition is even more critical. A good composition must be balanced.
The elements inside the frame should be placed appropriately on each other to achieve unity and symmetry. Many would just shoot the flower from eye level, but consider changing that. Try shooting from a lower angle, a higher one, or even both, as in the photo above. Other suggestions are to shoot from behind the flower or from the side.
Lighting is one of the most critical factors in photography. It can be used to create different moods and effects. It can create shadows, highlights, and even separate things from the background by giving it a silhouette. Shooting flowers up close can be tricky. You can’t just use the same lighting when shooting a person or a landscape.
If you do that, you’ll end up having a blurry or overexposed shot. The most common mistake is to use a flash because you’ll end up with a harsh and unnatural looking picture rather than a soft and natural one. If you want to use a flash, make sure to place it at some distance from the subject.
The specific angle of how you shoot can change the whole scene. It can give focus to some elements in the frame while removing distractions. The flower may look more dramatic or mysterious when shot from above, while it can look more bold and unique when shot from below.
Usually, shots taken at eye level are the most common; but shooting a subject at a different angle can help make the photo look more attractive. Shooting flowers from a lower angle makes it look more powerful, and shooting from a higher angle makes it more delicate, wispy, and elegant.
The depth of field is the distance that appears to focus in a photo. When taking a shot at the maximum apertures on your lens, the background would appear to be out of focus. It is the best thing to draw attention to your subject. You can also use a lens with a shallow depth of field to create a fuzzy background.
Framing is one of the most common techniques used by photographers. It is used to bring focus to the subject inside the frame or to add interest to it simply. Framing can be done merely by standing in front of your subject.
But if you want to be more creative, you can use other objects to frame your subject. You can use a tree, a wall, or even a window. The framing has to be more precise to make your subject stand out.
Blossoms are fascinating subjects in photography. With a bit of skill and a lot of creativity, you can create a photo masterpiece. Remember that the most important thing is to experiment with your subject's different angles, lighting, and angles. It will surely be gratifying when you realise how beautiful it can be.
