I have an endless fascination with flowers, particularly pink ones. My friend Fran had these gorgeous pink flowers blooming right on a bush in her back yard back in late February. She gave me permission to cut a few off the bush. In the studio I placed the flower against a black reflective surface and used my strobes. The other shots were lilies in my studio in March 2019, again on a black reflective surface. The flowers in the saucer were on a white background so I added a texture to punch things up.
Self Portraits
I decided to take some self-portraits in my home studio using strobe lights. I set the camera on a tripod, fixed the lighting, and used the shutter release. It was not easy getting myself at the right height, but finally, success.
