Colourful Dandelion Macro Photography (+ Bonus Aphids!)

9.2K views on YouTube

In this flower photography tutorial, we are photographing the ever-popular Dandelion. These are prolific flowers as we enter the summer months, and great to shoot in macro, especially when you add some colour!

Unlike our macro photography tutorial playlist, in this series, we are setting out to explore the photographic possibilities of different flowers and plants. We will be using different lighting methods and looking at ideas and inspiration for composition too!

In this flower photography tutorial, we are using coloured background cards and Adaptalux Studio lighting to make our dandelion photos pop. We encounter some surprise aphids and use water to add some additional interesting features to the dandelion clocks.
