Flowers are beautiful, but flower photography is hard, especially with a smartphone. Capturing the fine details of a bloom and bringing out the beautiful colors is a task that is difficult for a DSLR camera. Even the best cameraphone, with a short lens and miniscule sensor, needs help to make photos that will really impress your friends and audience.
I’ve been shooting flowers for years, even traveling to the Netherlands to spend time in de Keukenhof, an amazing flower garden in Lisse that’s the size of a major amusement park. I also talked to our photo pros, Tim Coleman and Mark Wilson, to get their best tips for flower photography with a smartphone.
