Red And White Rose In Black And White

This rose was grown by friends of ours who are serious rose growers, and I thought that with the range of tones it would look good in black and white.

 

Lighting stuff: I placed 2 Yongnuo flashes in 24 inch soft boxes on either side of the flower, in front and pointed at the center. The back lighting came from a 3rd flash in a Rogue grid, hand held behind the flower. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera 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 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
