I picked this flower in the garden this afternoon and brought it inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light and the background..
This was a one light setup with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box postitioned at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongtnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that revel 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 flower 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.
I brought this back from Baja California, Mexico six years ago because I thought it was beautiful and wanted to photograph it with a proper lighting setup.
Lighting: I propped this up on a piece of black Perspex, and then lit it with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastoite soft box positioned at camera left. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

These flowers were growing on a plant alongside the road in our neighborhood. I don't know the botanical name of the plant, but years ago I heard the plant referred to as "Indian Tobacco". I picked it and brought it home to photograph indoors where it's easier to control the light.

Talk about an inexpensive model, and very easy to work with.
Lighting stuff: I wanted side lighting for this because light coming from the side creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. I placed the edible model on a mirror because I like the extra dimensions that are revealed by the reflection. I used a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box just out of the frame at camera right. The left side of the pepper got fill light from a small mirror. The flash, in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

As the days get longer, some of our succulent plants are producing flowers, and I enjoy seeing and photographing them.
Lighting info: This was a 3 light setup using Yongnuo manual strobes. I put one strobe on either side of the flower in front and in softboxes pointing at the center. The 3rd strobe was hand held in a Rogue grid behind the plant to provide some back lighting. 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 1300 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in lighting.

I find calla lilies to be beautiful objects from nature and wonderful photograph subjects. My wife brought these home for us to admire and for me to photograph.
Lighting stuff: This was a simple one light setup from a Yongnuo manual flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
