For Mother’s Day, our daughters presented Angela with a bouquet of flowers — Lilies. Last night, after a day of rain, it was time to immortalize the lilies in the studio. Here is a macro shot of the stamens of one of the flowers.

When making photographs of flowers, I like to make images that show the edges of petals.

Finally, here is some more detail at the base of the petals. The petals have these “barbs” that make for an interesting macro landscape.

For these images, the vase with lilies was surrounded by white reflectors. These flowers were lit by flash shooting through an umbrella.
