Orchid

Orchid

This was taken a few years back in a bedroom the and lit by a desk lamp (one of those with the flexible column) . The background was a sheet of white A4 paper which as you can see has come up as a biege, due to ambient the light reaching it. The light was camera right and slightly higher than the unopened blooms. A reflector was positioned to camera left to bounce a bit of fill back into the flowers.
This was a very simple setup and cost nothing but my time as all the above items were available.
