Purple Calla Lily In The Light

I've always liked the shapes of calla lilies, so when my wife brought home a potted calla lily plant, I immediately set out to exploit it.

 

Lighting: This was a 3 light setup with Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch soft boxes in front, and on either side of the flower, and a hand held bare flash behind the flower at camera right for back lighting. The strobes, in manual mode, were 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.
