Some people buy flowers to create a centre piece for their table. Photographers buy some flowers to bring into the studio and explore…

This image was taken with my full frame camera and a 90mm macro. I used two strobes, one pointed up at the white ceiling, and the other on a small stand as a back light.

The camera was handheld with a radio trigger so I could change compositions easily. In retrospect, I might try a similar image, but do some focus stacking to expand the depth of focus.

Post processing was fairly minimal. some sharpening and a curves layer to darken the background and increase the contrast of the flowers.
