It is always the same, once you have an idea for the studio, you get in there, see something else, and something else again, wonderful how inspirational it can be.

Two weeks ago we did the wedding of Michelle and Ben.
The theme was CALLA LILIES, the bouquets on the tables, her wedding flowers, the cake, all beautiful cool Callas...
We were given a vase to take home and photograph them under studio-conditions.
We're still enjoying them.

I like that dramatic 'bottom' light from a soft box.

Hi Magda

Superb graphism of white on black. I like the lighting on the lily too. Good work!

Hello Magda,
Great lighting, wonderful texture, mm precise cropping... what more is there to say? Well done, as usual...
Regards,
pablo

Lovely image, very nicely composed, well balanced lighting and good detail.

It is what we may expect from you a perfect flower. But it is like a circus everything looks so simple that you think I can do it. Back at home it is not that easy. I have the same feeling with this photo.

Excellent compo, Magda.
I like details and light.

Beautiful picture
who knows, she knows how to have the talent of the creation
pure beauty, the light, the flower the theme, everything
Congratulations, I found it fabulous

I bet you enjoy taking shots at home. After doing so much professional work, it probably feels nice to be free and just do what you want. This is a lovely shot of the flower. I like the lighting and the way you placed the flower stem diagonally in the corner. Nice simple black background which leaves all the attention to the flower and it's textures. I must make myself a light box? What kind of bulb wattage would you recommend.
Diana

Lovely shot, Magda! I would say soft and sharp at the same time, a perfect balance. Great work!

Wonderful texture, nice lighting and perfect composed frame!

Superb rendering of what I thought was a flower for funerals in the UK (childrenfirst communion in Italy).
I love the light that softly shines from under the flower.

A beautiful picture Magda, perfectly done. I like a lot the details on it, very nice.
Have a nice day!
Guy

Indeed abeautiful flower, and a beautiful work. I just wonder how nice was this wedding...
Lovely setting Magda. Indeed the light is fantastic...
I soooo love those flowers... we call them "copo.de.leite" in my language, something like "glass.of.milk"...

Well done!

take care, Stef :))

As so often, this picture is great because of the detail, lack of unneccessary environmental issues and great contrast. Good job, Magda! TFS. Peter
