Orchid With Side Lighting
I lit this beautiful flower using side lighting from a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, and just out of the frame. Side lighting creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.
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 1100 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

I also have an album that show the lighting setups that I've used for various scenarios. People have commented that they've found them helpful. Here's that link:
