Bird Of Paradise 3488

These are fun flowers to photograph because the shapes are so unusual and distinctive with beautiful colors.

 

Lighting: I used 3 Yongnuo strobes for this image. The main light was in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. Fill light is from another 24 inch soft box at camera right. I created some back lighting by hand holding a strobe in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other pictures that I've taken of Birds of Paradise flowers can be seen in my cleverly titled Birds of Paradise album.

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, beautiful, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1000 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that sort of thing.
