Location
This photo was taken indoors using window lightTime
Mid-dayLighting
Soft lighting from a north-facing window lit up the rose in the correct spots while leaving shadows in the flowers' crevices.Equipment
Nikon D7000, sigma macro lens, tripod.Inspiration
As you can probably tell, my inspiration for this photo was the sensual floral paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe. There's something special about flowers that bring to mind purity yet dripping with sensuality that always brings me back to photographing them.Editing
Enhanced the sharpness and saturation. I also cropped in so that the composition was more strikingIn my camera bag
Nikon Z7, Sigma 150mm macro lens, 50mm and my trusty 24-70 Nikon lens. Sometimes I'll have one of my film cameras in there too. ND filter, backup batteries, and a bottle of liquid gold (for manifestation vibes).Feedback
Soft lighting is everything for this type of composition. Don't be afraid to rotate the buds or try shooting at different times of days until something jumps out at you
