Flower Photography Tips from GiftWorksPlus

Now that we’re in summer it’s time to break out our cameras and embrace our inner nature photographer. Flower photography is especially blooming (sorry) at the moment. Lots of people take pictures of flowers to post on social media, but by taking your own photos of flowers and framing your photos, it creates a fun way to add your own art to your home. Luckily GiftWorksPlus has plenty of advice on how to make your flower photos as beautiful as possible.  

1. Experiment with different angles and views. By playing around with the perspective, you can take more interesting and creative photos. For instance, by getting extra close to a flower, shooting it from a ground view, or just above the flower and mixing up angles would be more interesting to look at than a standard picture of flowers from standing perspective.
2. Focus on the object in order to avoid a boring or distracting background from taking up too much of the photo. This includes dark spots or too harsh lighting. Again, mixing up your perspective can help with lighting and avoiding getting too much background in your photo.
3. Create your own photo opportunities. Ain’t nobody got time to wait around for the perfect lighting or the morning dew to be just right for a picture. Especially when you can easily try different flash settings, light diffusers, or even use a little spray bottle to add a fresh touch to your flower pictures.

Once you’ve mastered the art of taking pictures out in nature, you’ll want to find the best way to share them with family and friends. Pick up a flower themed wooden engraved frame from GiftWorksPlus to frame your pictures of your favorite flower shots, then gift them to family and friends to hang on their wall.
