Free course painterly flower photography

This ‘Introductory course painterly flower photography’ gives you the basics for creating wonderful dreamy and painterly flower portraits. The main objective of this course is to learn to see in a different way. The camera doesn’t look at the world as we do. The aspect ratio, the depth of field and the local length are totally different. And this becomes even more obvious when shooting macro or close up images. 

Enjoy!

Masterclass Flower Art Photography

In this introductory course I already provide you with a lot of information, but it’s actually only the tip of the iceberg.

In the full masterclass I go into more detail on the photographic techniques like the shooting through technique, shooting through fabric, the in between flowers technique and how to blend the foreground with the background to create an amazing bokeh.

Next to that I tallk about the creative though that goes into sculpting this kind of images, and how to become a visual story teller. Other chapters are dedicated to finding, modifying and using the available light to create the mood we want.

If you want to lift your flower photography to the next level, then have a look at the masterclass.

Hi Dirk, I wish I knew about your tutorials years ago when I was first starting with flower photography. It is definitely very helpful and easy to understand for beginners. For me, I had one important takeaway and that is natural backgrounds without being too busy. I finally understood how to get the dreamy look. I sat down with a lot of black-eyed Susan's this past weekend and scanned the area until I found a beautiful background to go with the foreground. That was my ah-ha moment. I have not edited the photos yet. It made me realize I was shooting to shoot. I wasn't doing it mindfully. Now I understand because of your tutorials so thank you! Your tutorials have no "fluff" in them. They and you are straight to the point.
