The Art of Flower Photography
Denise Ippolito is recognized as one of the world’s premier flower photographers because of her creativity in both the field and at the computer. Several years ago she inspired Artie to tackle flowers and he was a quick study. Denise does great things with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS lens. Artie uses that one on occasion but often goes to longer focal lengths for his flower photography. He has been seen in Keukenhoff Gardens in Holland photographing tulips with a 600 mm lens and a teleconverter. Both share their techniques that they use to create dramatic, sharp, well-composed, properly exposed images of flowers and flower fields.

What do you do during windy conditions where the flower is moving back and forth?
Suggestion to viewers, watch at 1.5x speed.
What percentage of these are out of camera?
No boring intro ME ME!all about the art, inspiring wonderfull images, THANK YOU
Great pics
Im an amateur photographer and never went to any school just went in there I have some shots actually better than theirs although they know what their doing and most of them are really good. I think they didn’t cover a topic about flowers and bugs together. My Photographs can be seen in my facebook page the name is Moment Collector feel free to browse and Like is much appreciated.
This is my 5th time watching this video. Every time I watch it I learn something new. Keep up the great work.
Great presentation and very inspiring.
Amazing speakers! Love their bird photo one as well!
Is that Jesse Ventura? LOL!
Excuse my ignorance in advance, but I have seen Arthur as the no:1 bird photographer so judge my surprise when this video dropped!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…… OMG….. ARE YOU COLD. DENISE NEEDS TO HANG WITH MORE FUN PEOPLE….
Love the zoom blur
really enjoyed this, thank you!!
This is my fifth time watching this video. Every time I watch it I’m inspired and I learn something new each time..
Thank you. Excellent photos, great advice & suggestions. I’ve learned a lot from this.
As a beginner in Macro photography, with a strong interest in flowers, I found this a fascinating study of all the different ways to look at flowers. Really inspiring, and good explanations of how each effect was created. I have a large flowering garden of my own to start with. Just waiting on my first macro lens and itching to get started as the fruit trees are now in bloom. Thanks for posting, I found this really helpful.
This makes me want to go find books about contemporary photography and concept.
I just love Denise’s photography and her presentation.
Good god this is so damn boring! I wanted to learn something here but I kept falling asleep! Videos like this are atrocious, these people aren’t talking to a video audience they’re talking to a crowd so don’t record it duh!
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thank you for the inspirations 🙂
Denise , you looks like Joni Mitchel the Canadian70,s song writer!
2 photographers with very different photographic approaches, very different teaching styles and different personalities who both create wonderful flower photos. Great tutorial.
To me this is bunch of snapshots..
This video would be so much better if the arrogant guy wasn’t in it
I saw this guy for a workshop on bird photography. While he is quite a fine photographer he is annoying with the data comments.
Can this be edited so he doesn’t speak?
And what’s with the hoody and looking like a punk, is he a teenager or a senior citizen?
Very interesting, thank you !! 🙂 JF
Denise, I am inspired by your photography and am interested in attending one of your workshops, but I get an error every time i click on the workshops link on your websites. Can you provide a working URL please? Thanks!
Not the usual quality training video I am accustomed to seeing from B&H.
Started with out introductions and in the middle of an explanation, and the
video ends just as abruptly.
Other than the above, it was an educational experience.
This was really neat! Thank you for giving this presentation. I like the idea of using a small reflector instead of flash, and I’m also glad that you were as enthusiastic as you were for shooting in cloudy conditions, foggy condition, etc.
Thank you so much for such a great presentation full of inspiration and ideas.
I’ve watched this 3 times
I go to a local public flower garden. I got some awesome ideas, but it is raining now and will be for two days.
Come on, stop interrupting her!
She’s not giving any information on teaching how to take the shot. She’s introducing the flower itself. He’s actually teaching.
get over your watermarks . great photos otherwise
Every time he says next, I imagine her walking over to him with that Macbook and breaking it off his mouth.
That dude must have been freezing since he needed to have his hood up.
Snapshot quality..you need great light to make a great photo..Invest in some lighting!
Botanically speaking, the backsides of flowers are also important for identification, as well and just leaves and pods- so all is fair game and though it could be called art, it could also be scientifically useful.
Should have shown all settings with each pic.
"Keukenhof" 😀 I love how you guys pronounce it XD
I really thought that I would make it to the end without hearing Boskie but it wasn’t to be!
the photos are all edited.. thats why are so good.
