I took this photo in my bedroom/studio/creative business HQ, LOL!Time
It was early afternoon and I made the most of the natural light coming from the large window! I love flowers, I picked these from the back garden. I was doing some mundane paperwork for my business and started to feel restless, I realised it was time to have a break and do something creative. I try to take at least a photo once a day, even when I am stuck indoors because of this silly virus. I don't specialise in still life, but I like to try new things and experiment. It is in my nature to overcomplicate everything, arranging flowers and then take a photo of it is a great exercise to get to the essence of things, like a 10 minutes meditation. I am pretty happy with this photo, also because of the natural patterns created by the petals and stems.Lighting
I wanted to create some gradual light effect, a bit of contrast, but not much because I wanted to enhance the delicate petals and the brightness of the stems.Equipment
Lumix DC-FZ82EB-K Super Zoom, hand held, natural light.Inspiration
I know it sounds like a worn out cliche', but the simple truth is that I love flowers: I can lose track of time when I observe the natural architectural created by the layers of petals, and on a less tangible I am always in awe when I observe the simple strength of small bunch of blooms, a few flowers may be fragile, but are also stunning, strong and make life more beautiful, like most humans.Editing

Experiment, observe light, where it comes from, how you can use it, a large sheet of white cardboard can be used as a light diffuser.
