photography tutorial set up and edit

Behind the scenes and edit flowers in the window

 

I’m doing some more sets from the beautiful flowers I got from Farmgirl flowers .. some Ranunculus and a few roses. In this video, I’m using the Spring/Summer Seasons preset collection and textures from the Arctic Texture collection. I am also using a handheld light in this setup and you can check it out on Amazon.

This is a setup inspired by my new Blooming Flower workshop. If you love some of the ideas I’m using here, you’ll love all the ideas I have for you in the workshop. This advanced flower workshop will really get your creativity flowing!

I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes look at my setup and the photo I took. I am only using the window light and handheld studio light to bounce some light back into my scene where I would normally have some nice shadows – you could also use a photography reflector for bouncing the light back in. I have all the lights in the room off – so they don’t change or mess up my light in the photos.

    These are complete courses for the beginner on how to apply the texture to their photos. Well done. I consider my self a more advanced user and I have been using the same methods to apply my models for the past few years.
    I switched to shooting flowers instead of models recently. I hope to learn how you did your creative backdrop. Some suggestion on which workshop I should sign up?

      Thank you!

      The backdrop was one I created in the beautiful backdrop course. If you are looking for more advanced workshops – you might look at still stories and blooming. 🙂

        Thank you for this great video. Curious about what is that orange torch type thing standing on left side?

          That is the backside of my handheld light I use sometimes to add light to the photo.

    When you extend the background, do you use a feather? I get a really harsh line when I try to extend?

      I’m not feathering in this one – you can see up top of my photoshop I have feather set to 0.. but I was careful to select an area that was in a lot of blur and pretty even in color so when I extended it – you didn’t see any harsh lines. You just have to do some practicing on that – and it doesn’t always work so seamlessly for me either.

    Fabulous edit Denise. Can you please tell me what the Option key is you speak about (is that for Mac)? I use a PC.
    Thanks

      Yes. It is the option key on mac – I think that is the Alt key on PC
