There are a thousand ways of appreciating a plant or a flower!

Why photograph plants and flowers?<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">How many artists, painters and photographers have taken plants and flowers as their subject?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Botanists are fascinated by the therapeutic power behind these shapes and colours, while writers and historians describe the symbolism of flowers (e.g. the Royal Lily), <strong>painters and photographers will try to convey a message, a testimony, an emotion, in short a story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">All these very different worlds are linked by plants and flowers. Consciously or unconsciously, plants and flowers connect us all!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Plants have been the talk of the town since ancient times! Aristotle and Plato, in their theoretical reflections, and Hippocrates and Galen in their medical work, wrote extensively on the subject.&nbsp;<strong>Plants were the link<\/strong> between the gods, the stars, men and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Probably more novels and poems have been inspired by flowers. Literature is full of comparisons between women, love, flowers and their scents. Perhaps this is why we give flowers to show our emotions and our love for someone?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">So it's only natural that nature photographers should be drawn to plants and flowers. <strong>Depending on the message to be conveyed and whatever the period, drawing, painting and images are a means of transmission, communication and, ultimately, a (human?) necessity.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Whether used to illustrate botanical works, as a means of expression for artists, or for advertising and commercial communication, the messages are different, but all conveyed through images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>A single image can convey a lot of information. These days, photography is everywhere, and in my opinion photographic art is the language of the message!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-52d091a\" data-block-id=\"52d091a\"><style>.stk-52d091a {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">I invite you to visit the websites of photographers such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hisuzanne.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Susanne Saroff<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/store.jamesnelson.info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James Nelson<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.monakuhn.com\/portfolio\/works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mona Kuhn<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1718paris.com\/artists\/doan-ly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Doan Ly<\/a>&nbsp;who will use plants and flowers in their communications.

Whether therapeutic, spiritual or artistic.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-d1128a2\" data-block-id=\"d1128a2\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Since the dawn of time, flowers and plants have been imbued with symbolism, value and emotion. Take, for example, the Lily (or, more accurately, the Iris), the symbol of royalty. It is said to be the first symbol of the Frankish kings, dating back to the 9th century, following a battle won by Clovis against the Visigoths on the banks of a river lined with yellow irises.&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-2bbe792\" data-block-id=\"2bbe792\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">This flower alone is a symbol of French royalty, but it also has religious connotations of purity, love and fertility.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5376da5\" data-block-id=\"5376da5\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">What's more, the iris was used by the Greeks and Egyptians to signify wisdom, confidence, hope and courage. One flower alone can convey a whole host of messages, and this continues to this day!<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-4b33949\" data-block-id=\"4b33949\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Another example: the immortelle, or helicrysum, symbolises immortality, because it is very resistant and does not wither, or only with great difficulty. It therefore represents constancy, endless love, glory and eternity, thanks to its golden yellow colour, like the rays of the sun.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-061789b\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"061789b\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-061789b-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-061789b-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-add5ef9 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"add5ef9\"><style>.stk-add5ef9 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;font-size:12px !important;}.stk-add5ef9 {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;box-shadow:0px 70px 90px -20px #4849794d !important;margin-bottom:10px !important;}.stk-add5ef9:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-add5ef9 .stk-img-figcaption{font-size:12px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-249624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Limmortelle.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Plants and flowers, Immortelle, or Helichrysum\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\"><em><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-1, #1f093c);\" class=\"stk-highlight\"><em>Immortelle, or Helichrysum<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-4527b44\" id=\"3-comment-transmettre-son-message\" data-block-id=\"4527b44\"><style>.stk-4527b44 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">3. How do you get your message across?<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">I would simply say that anything is possible! <b>You are the artist<\/b>It's up to you to decide what message you want to get across!

Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erikalmas.com\/campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erik Alm\u00e5s<\/a>\u00a0website on this subject.

When you're low-angle, you'll tend to crush your subject a little, and when you're low-angle, you'll dominate it (the wisteria opposite).  It's up to you to choose the effect you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Wait until the right time of day if you're shooting outdoors, so that the light isn't too harsh, resulting in too much contrast. If you're in a studio, you have complete control over your lighting. <b>Remember, light is everything in photography!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Morning or evening can give you a warmer, more golden light (the ivy opposite), or bluish light. Cloudy weather will diffuse the light without casting harsh shadows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Think about your background - it's not always easy outdoors! If you're shooting indoors or in a studio, you can control the background and the bokeh, but outdoors it's not that easy. Personally, I use a Tamron 90mm f\/2.8 macro lens, and I'm quite happy with it. The quality of its bokeh is quite good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Talking of macro shots, I think it's fun to take close-ups sometimes - some plants or flowers aren't particularly pretty as a whole, but their details can be intriguing! (example of Sempervivum opposite).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">One of the great things about photographing plants and flowers is being able to capture these little creatures in action on the subject (butterflies, bees, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li
