Flower Photography Workshop 2 [2/5] with Molly Hollman

About this series:

23rd June 2024 Session 1: Outdoor Flower and Garden Photography

Molly will look at the best ways to photograph plants and flowers in their natural environment, and also talk about capturing garden landscapes and people in the garden. The session will end with a live ‘how-to’ edit.

30th June 2024 Session 2: Photographing flowers and plants indoors

Molly will discuss the best methods for capturing flowers and plants in the comfort of your own home, and discuss various creative ideas for getting up close and personal with your flowers. The session will end with a live ‘how-to’ edit.

7th July 2024 Session 3: Editing your flower and plant photography, from start to finish

Molly will show walkthroughs of her editing process and workflow using both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and also explain how to use overlays and textures with your images. The session should still be useful if you use different editing software.

21st July 2024 Session 4: Doing things differently/breaking the rules

Molly will consider why we all need to do things differently from time to time, to keep our photography fresh and not get stuck in a rut. She will consider different approaches to the same shot with both indoor and outdoor photography.

28th July 2024 Session 5: Entering competitions and taking your photography to the next level

Molly will talk about the finer points of garden photography editing (which will mostly apply to ALL genres) and what judges look for (and what to avoid). She will do a live edit to show the preparation she does for a ‘competition’ image and which competitions are worthwhile entering (and which to avoid!).
