Flowers

OK, my wife was wanting some new pictures for her office. The prints she had were OK, but she was bored with them as she’d had them a long time. She asked me to shoot 3 photos as replacements. My concept is use black museum style frames with white double mattes. The flowers were to be white flowers of some sort shot against a black back ground. The photos were to converted to B&W with the intent of retaining the textures of the blooms.

After checking with the top florist in Pasadena I found a Calla Lilly and a White Rose at Cantebury Flowers. I also found a plain White Lilly at Krogers. The difference is shapes make the 3 flowers look quite unusual. 

All three where shot at my studio against a Thunder Gray Savage paper background. The flowers were lit by a single grided (eggcrate) strip box.

I ordered prints from my lab today and expect them before the end of the week.
