Lighting Direction – Flower Shoot

This is my favorite image from the flower shoot because is has a very strong silhouette which creates a very interesting negative shape. To create this effect my group used a back light; this produces a white background which creates a high contrasted image with reduced subject detail. I enjoy how simple this image is and yet it feels so dynamic with all the leaves pointing in different directions. This image was taken a bit further away then others of this shot, which is another reason why I like it: You can tell that it is a plant, and it makes an nice curve over the background.
