The Process
So many times people ask me how I create my images. In most cases, I shoot the photo in the dark, lighting the flowers with tiny lights.
This photo (3 Tulips) is a great example to use in explaining the process. First, all three flowers were set in a clamp to hold them still. The photos are taken indoors so I do not have any chance of wind, causing movement to the plants.
In this photo, I "painted" the flowers with lights, using small strobes and, one at a time, placed the light down into the tulip in order to light it up from the inside. After that was completed, I "painted" the front of the flowers with another light so that the stems would appear in the final image.
This photo took a very long time to achieve as, when placing the lights into the tops of the flowers, I had to be very careful not to touch the flowers and cause movement and I also had to ensure each flower was lit up for an equal amount of time so that one would not be more bright than the others.
