How to Take Perfect Photos with Flowers

Before you start shooting, it is important to choose the right outfit, and it’s not just about the harmonious color combination of clothes and bouquet. Each flower has its own character, its own established image:

• The orchid is associated with royal luxury, so a bouquet with orchids is suitable for creating the image of a chic woman.
• Callas and lilies (except tiger lilies) are ideal for a gentle photo shoot in trendy pastel colors.
• Bright gerberas symbolize joy, delight and will look great in the hands of laughing girls enjoying life.
• Roses are a classic and match any look.
• Dahlias and peony roses will decorate any city photo shoot, especially in the autumn, when girls wear coats and leather jackets.
• Tulips and eustomas will help create a touching romantic image.

Photographers recommend choosing an outfit that does not overwhelm the bouquet with color and colorful print, the same goes for accessories and the background on which the model is posing. A bouquet is already an ideal attribute of any photo, so clothes in pastel colors and a smooth, calm background are enough.

How to pose with flowers at photoshoot

Non-professional models always have the same problem - they don’t know where to put their hands. The bouquet completely solves it, so the photographs turn out natural and harmonious.

You can hold flowers in your hands, put them on your lap or on the sofa next to you, throw them up or gently bury your face in them.

A spectacular shot can be made by laying the model with flowers on the floor.

To make the photograph look like a still from a video clip or film, the model should not look into the lens, it is better to turn her head slightly to the side. If your gaze is not looking down at the flowers, it should be directed in the same direction as your nose.

A gentle and dreamy photo can be taken by focusing the camera on flowers - this will make the face and background a little blurry. It is better to place the bouquet on the same level as the model; if you put it forward, the emphasis will be only on the flowers, and the model will get lost in the frame.

The best photos are taken in diffused light.

The worst option is a bright sunny day. Photos in the sun turn out faded, shadows are too sharp, which is why the photo loses volume, and it is almost impossible to maintain a relaxed facial expression. The same goes for flash - it will ruin any photo.

If you need to photograph a bouquet against the background of a model with a cropped face, the flowers are placed at chest level.
