Flower photos with a dark background are perfect for highlighting the bright colors. This type of shot is easy to achieve with a flash. If done well, the background doesn’t even have to be black – just simply dark. The image below is a fine example of using this technique: To achieve this effect, set the ISO to 100 or 200, set the f-stop to f22 or greater, and set the flash at full power (this works because you’re shooting at a higher f/stop or smaller aperture). Position the flash to one side, being careful not to expose the background to light. If you are using a dark background, don’t place it too close to your subject (try 20 inches away or farther) and be sure that the flash doesn’t illuminate it. You may need to move all the above elements around a bit until you can achieve shots that light your flower, while leaving the background dark. You can read in-depth about using artificial light in flower photography in chapter 4 of our [156-page flower photography guide](.
