Reflecting On Succulent Blossoms And Buds

These succulent flowers came from the garden this afternoon.

 

I placed them on a mirror as I like the added dimension that the reflection provides. The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. I also back lit the flowers using a yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, hand held behind the flowers at camera right. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other pictures that I've taken of succulents are in my Cactus and Succulents album.

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 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
