Some outtakes from today’s shoot for my Fashioned Florals column over at Oh Joy this morning. Curious to hear your thoughts on the new layout. Yay, nay? The black background make its, in my opinion. I will be investing in some photographer-esque paper rolls, it appears.
More outtakes, and as many images as I could muster as those garden roses were on their last breath. So perfect, I almost couldn’t stand it.
I’m really into still life composition these days, which probably has part to do with my education [architects are always thinking about representation, the story, the flow or procession of space, things, life] and part to do with my desire to wish time still, just a moment. Sometimes the beauty of simple things are almost overwhelming to me, I just can’t quite believe my eyes, and just wish I could take it all in.
I love the black background, reminds me of vintage botanical prints. Plus, it’s DRAMA!
could be jealousy because the only good photo spot in my studio is washed out and backlit, but I am a TOTAL sucker for a dark background. I think it makes the forms of the flowers stand out so beautifully.
Can really sympathize with your wanting to capture beauty and hold it as long as you can! How perfect, then, that you have photography to do just that.
The black backdrop is so beautiful. It makes the flowers look as though they were painted on with the softest pastels. Beautiful!
