The joy of lavender photography with the scent of 💜purple
The main attraction of photographing lavender is to enjoy the fields of purple flowers that spread from early summer to summer and the gentle fragrance of the flowers. The sight of the long, slender ears of flowers swaying in the wind is very cool, and just looking at them creates a calming atmosphere.
A lavender field in full bloom looks like a carpet of purple when viewed from afar, and when photographed up close, the delicate expression of a series of small flowers can be enjoyed. You can capture the vast field of flowers as a landscape, or you can get close to a single plant and blur the background to create a soft impression.
Lavender is also a flower that works very well with light. When it receives oblique light in the morning or evening, the ears of purple flowers glow softly, creating a more magical atmosphere. Combined with a blue sky on a sunny day, it creates a refreshing summer scene, while on a cloudy day, its subdued tones create an elegant photo.
In lavender fields, photographing not only the flowers themselves, but also the combination of the flowers with the surrounding greenery, paths, trees, and sky is a joy. The view changes as you walk around, and you can find a composition with depth just by changing the angle a little. The fun part of lavender photography is that you can slowly search for your own unique shot while enjoying the fragrance and the scenery.
💜To take beautiful pictures of lavender
Photographing a flower garden with depth in mind
When photographing a lavender field, it is recommended to take advantage of the rows of flowers and pathways to create depth. By including lavender that continues from the front to the back, you can create an expansive photo.
Aim for soft light in the morning or evening.
The purple color of lavender works better with soft morning or evening light than with strong sunlight. Aim for times when the light comes in at an angle to help bring out the three-dimensionality and transparency of the flower ears.
Get up close and capture the expression of a small flower.
Each lavender flower is small, but when viewed up close, it has a delicate and lovely shape. Focusing on the tips of the flower spikes and the beginning of blooming will create a gentle atmosphere.
Blur the background to enhance the purple color.
When lavender is the main subject, softly blurring the background will bring out the color of the flowers. Using a telephoto lens or the portrait mode on your smartphone will help create a fluffy impression.
Combine with blue sky and clouds
On a clear day, the combination of purple lavender and blue sky is very refreshing. Shooting from a low vantage point with the sky in the shot will give the photo a summery, open feel. A day with white clouds also adds a soft accent to the photo.
Enjoy the atmosphere of swaying in the wind
Lavender is a flower whose thin spikes tend to sway in the wind. On days when there is wind, not only stop the camera completely, but also take pictures so that the viewer can feel the slight swaying to create a natural atmosphere. It is recommended to decide which flower you want to focus on and take several shots.
Shoot as a landscape with paths and benches
If there are paths, benches, or groves of trees in the lavender field, including them in the photo will help tell a story. Unlike a large photo of only the flowers, it is easier to convey the atmosphere and seasonality of the location.
Be aware of a piece that even conveys the aroma.
When photographing lavender, be aware of compositions that convey not only the beauty of the flowers' appearance, but also their fragrance and the comfort of the breeze, and your photos will be more impressive. Try to capture the peaceful atmosphere of early summer in your photos while taking advantage of the expanse of the flower field and the soft light.
