Flower Photography Workshop [5-parts] Molly Hollman
About this series:
Session 1: Outdoor Flower and Garden Photography
Molly will look at the best ways to photograph plants and flowers in their natural environment, and also talk about capturing garden landscapes and people in the garden. The session will end with a live ‘how-to’ edit.
Session 2: Photographing flowers and plants indoors
Molly will discuss the best methods for capturing flowers and plants in the comfort of your own home, and discuss various creative ideas for getting up close and personal with your flowers. The session will end with a live ‘how-to’ edit.
Session 3: Editing your flower and plant photography, from start to finish
Molly will show walkthroughs of her editing process and workflow using both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and also explain how to use overlays and textures with your images. The session should still be useful if you use different editing software.
Session 4: Doing things differently/breaking the rules
Molly will consider why we all need to do things differently from time to time, to keep our photography fresh and not get stuck in a rut. She will consider different approaches to the same shot with both indoor and outdoor photography.
Session 5: Entering competitions and taking your photography to the next level
Molly will talk about the finer points of garden photography editing (which will mostly apply to ALL genres) and what judges look for (and what to avoid). She will do a live edit to show the preparation she does for a ‘competition’ image and which competitions are worthwhile entering (and which to avoid!).
You will have two months to watch this series from the point of rental.
