Location

This was a staged photo taken near an open window in my house. The flower was leftover from a recital bouquet and looked like an interesting subject!

Time

Although the photo was taken indoors, I took it midmorning to get the best lighting.

Lighting

The morning light from the window made a striking contrast against the black background. I think the lighting is what makes this picture so unique.

Equipment

I actually used an iPhone camera for this shot! Just working with what I had at the time. :)

Inspiration

I’ve always been inspired by flowers and nature. This flower just seemed to have so much character and potential!

Editing

Actually, no! This photo did not undergo any processing or editing. All-natural for the win!

In my camera bag

Usually just an iPhone 6 and my Polaroid! But I love to practice on my dad’s camera when it’s available.

Feedback

Lighting is everything. I love lower angles for capturing flowers because that’s often where the lighting is most unique.
