Reflecting On A Yellow Calla
I first placed the flower on a piece of black Perspex because I often like to have reflections in my flower pictures because I believe it makes the flower appear more three dimensional and also reveals a different view of the flower.
I lit the flower with one manual Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and camera were both triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1300 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in lighting.

Other calla pictures that I've attempted can be seen in my creatively titled Calla Lily album.
