One-to-one tuition with Heather Angel
Glorious Plants
Anyone who loves plants will marvel at the infinite variation of floral structure. With such a wide array of pot plants and cut flowers now available, flowers can be photographed throughout the year. There will be opportunities to see how reflectors and diffusers can enhance plant photography outside as well as how to use fill-flash to advantage.
Key Features
- Laptop presentation of lighting techniques

- Outdoor lighting – reflectors / diffusers / fill-flash

Outline
When the weather is unsuitable for working outside, window light is ideal for some subjects; alternatively artificial light, flash or even a lightbox can be used during the day or even at night. Various lighting set-ups will be available in a professional studio using all these light sources together with studio flash and fibre optics to photograph not just flowers but a range of plant subjects.
At the end of this day you will have a clear understanding of how to achieve the best results when photographing plants using your digital SLR – whatever the weather.
We can even fine-tune this day to meet your own particular interests and experience level.
