As part of a series on smartphone photography, professional photographer Tiffany Warner demonstrates an alternative approach to capturing flowers.
📍 Viewfield, 651 Mount Macedon Rd, Mount Macedon
Flowers are wonderful subjects to practise your photography skills on. I often find myself in the garden playing with different shades of light or experimenting with new angles.
Photographing flowers is not the easiest task, as capturing their full beauty in a single image can be challenging.
One of my favourite techniques is to position myself above flowers and shoot directly down into them. This method allows you to appreciate the full shape of a flower when it’s in bloom.
In the image, I have also gone in close to show the details and water droplets on the leaves, adding an extra layer of interest. Additionally, I’ve used my phone’s Portrait Mode to make the flowers stand out against the background.
💡 Tip: Experiment by positioning yourself above flowers and looking down into them for a different perspective.
Happy snapping!
