Cards - Flowers

The card assignment has been more difficult than I first imagined, with the flower images I decided to go in the direction I was heading in the first place. I wanted them to look like cards instead of just images on cards, so I decided to play around with the layout, and decided on a square format and a layered look to the cards.

I’m quite proud of the finished items and I could see them on the shelves of the smaller craft shops, the only problem is that the theme flowers isn’t exactly unique which I was hoping to achieve when we first got set this assignment, but I think the layout I’ve given my cards are different to many of the flower cards which are selling.

There are many different approaches I could have taken when photographing flowers:

• In the studio
• In natural surrounding
• Black and White
• Colour
• Close Up
• From a Distance
• Singular
• A few flowers bunched together
• Artificial/ Real
  

My favourite way to photograph flowers is close up to capture the details of the flowers, and this comes across in my images, which is what I set out to achieve in the first place. Above are the finished items and as you can probably see they work well as a set of cards.
