6204. Intro to Flower Photography
Workshop - Photography | Available
Tabletop Flower Photography
This workshop teaches the basics of shooting flowers or other small objects in low-light indoor settings, using off-camera flash techniques with simple, inexpensive equipment. Students don’t need any prior experience with flash shooting, but should have an understanding of the basics of exposure, and good familiarity with the operation of their cameras. Any camera that has a hot shoe and full control of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO will work, but longer lenses (minimum of 50mm equivalent) will be most useful.
I. The DIY tabletop studio
II. Lighting
III. Camera handling
IV. Post processing – If we’ve done all the above right, need should be minimal.
Greg Dailey
I'm an amateur photographer in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My work has occasionally been found hanging in one of a few local venues, but mostly I just shoot for myself. For most of my working life I've been a musician, among other things; I currently work in the music area of the UNC School of the Arts library. But my eyes have always brought me more interesting things than my ears. I was fascinated by cameras and pictures as a kid, but didn't make serious attempts at learning photography until about 2006. Landscape and nature photography was the starting point of my interest, and still constitutes the bulk of my subject matter, but I do branch out to other things as well.
Some of my work can be found at dogseyeview.net.
