Why take photos of flowers?
In addition to the fact that it is difficult to resist so much natural beauty, there are many reasons to practice photography with flowers, whether you like them more or you like them less. Here are the reasons why you should take photos of flowers when you want to exercise with your camera.
- They do not move (except by the wind). The flowers are static. They are not a child or a pet that can run away or leave you without a photo at any time. They are a most patient reason.
- They allow to study the light. Both natural and artificial, because the flash does not hurt. In addition, backlights, due to the transparency of the petals, are also an excellent option with flowers.
- With them you can practice the composition, both in terms of perspective and framing, or even with the color of the composition.
- Because you can photograph them with any type of lens:
- Wide angle to photograph wonderful flower fields.
- Macro lenses, to capture all its details and get abstract photos.
- Standard lenses to capture the whole flower with a beautiful blur or a group of flowers.
- Telephoto lenses to isolate the flower and achieve heart-stopping bokeh.
- You can photograph a single flower, play with two symmetries, with a bouquet to combine colors or with a field.
- With different backgrounds they can give you a lot of room to transmit different sensations.
- You have the possibility to photograph them at home or in the field. Even in the park, in a botanical garden or in a nursery or flower shop. And if you don’t want to go out or you can’t and you don’t have any at home, you can always ask them to send you a bouquet 😉
- You will be able to adapt the photograph to the style that you like the most, in color, in black and white, in low or high key, with vivid colors, desaturated, or with low contrast, etc.; you put the style, but flowers are all, they are also completely timeless.
As you can see… as Sabina says… we have plenty of reasons to photograph flowers 😉
