Fine Art Florals
Learn to capture gorgeous Fine Art Florals with the use of artificial lighting to stunning effect. Inspired by The Masters with colour and lighting. Learn to harness your light with an in-depth look at flash, strobe and LEDs.
Just some of the techniques and lessons you'll learn in the course
Learn to work with different types of artificial lighting to achieve great results. Whether that is studio strobes, flash, constant LED lights or even a desk lamp. We will looking at directing light and various light modifiers for best results.
An aspect of Fine Art Florals, I have only briefly looked at in previous classes is Colour Grading. We will look at this more in depth both in Lightroom and Photoshop. Learn creative techniques to enhance your florals.
Textures add an element of warmth and charm and can elevate a simple flower image to a fine art print. We will look at sharpening images, adding texture and clarity, but also how to ADD texture to our images in Photoshop.
Rarely ever really looked at in classes is WHAT to do with your finished images. From Prints to Canvas or even Greeting Cards, we look at options and how best to get ready for printing.
Explore options outside of Lightroom and Photoshop we look at some artistic plugins and filter galleries to create and enhance lighting effects and more
With the emphasis on the flowers, we can look at simplifying our staging and let the flowers shine. No vast array of props, a few simple vases and paper backdrops.
