it’s something…

A couple months ago I read about a technique for shooting flowers in a “studio” setting, but I haven’t had any flowers to try it with. No, my wife doesn’t like flowers…”they are a waste of money cause they just die”. Anyway last night I remembered that we had some fake flowers sitting around somewhere so I figured I would see how it worked.

Well…I think it worked great. Actually it worked a hell of a lot better than I thought it would. I was thinking that it would look really fake or something…plastic-y maybe? Turns out that it does look really fake, but for whatever reason that is why I like it because you can see that is fake. Maybe it is because you can see the texture of the fabric, or the detail in the frayed edges.

So, I think the technique works and need to find some real flowers to try it out with.
