Floral Photography with Passion

Padma Inguva will share information about some of her techniques in creating stunning flower portraits. These techniques include photographing flowers on a lightbox, multiple exposures both in camera and via Photoshop, selective focus, blurred backgrounds, compositional elements, backlighting, and bokeh! This program also includes tips on processing colors, like red and purple, which are considered difficult to photograph.

Artist Statement: My goal as a photographer is to get people to slow down, unite with the natural world and absorb the beauty of flowers, create an oasis in this rapid, constantly demanding stressful daily life. There is no better way to escape this running-around than spending time looking through a lens. I want to set people on a path of inspiration, hope, joy, and love that comes from an appreciation of these tiny treasures all around us. It gives me immense joy in taking you down a beautiful journey into flowers through my lens where you admire and observe flowers with a whole new perspective and create art that lasts far longer than the flower itself. www.PadmasWorld.com
