Photographing lawn cherry blossoms is a joy of capturing the layering and spreading of colors in a single shot, while placing yourself in the midst of the carpet of flowers spreading out all over the area. The gradation of pinks, whites, and purples changes its expression depending on the angle of view and the way the light hits it, and you will never get tired of it no matter how many times you click the shutter. By composing your photos in a way that takes advantage of the expanse of flowers stretching far into the distance, you can create a spring-like openness in your photos.

Capturing the moment when the flowers sway in the light breeze overlaps with the blue of the sky makes for an even more impressive shot. You will find yourself absorbed in taking pictures of the flowers.



🌸 Use the expanse to create a sense of openness in the composition.

The lawn cherry is a flower that attracts with its “surface”. By composing your photos with an awareness of depth and breadth, you can create a spring-like sense of scale.


🌸 Low eyesight, enter the world of flowers.

By simply lowering your eyes a little, you can create a picture that seems to be wrapped in a carpet of flowers. Adding the sky in the background creates a more open impression.


🌸 Enjoy the color gradation

Framing with an awareness of the overlapping pink, white, and purple colors will enhance the unique beauty of the lawn cherry.


🌸 Decide on the main character and make it crisp and clear.

Creating a point in the expanse where you “want to show this part” will create a rhythm in the photo. It is also recommended to make a part of the foreground the main subject.


🌸 Make light your friend and create a gentle atmosphere

The soft light in the morning and evening makes the colors of the lawn cherry blossoms appear more beautiful. By suppressing contrast, a soft, spring-like finish is achieved.


🌸 Add a sense of omission by incorporating the sky and background.

Incorporating a blue sky and distant scenery creates a lightness to the entire photo. The spaciousness plus a sense of escape creates a pleasing picture.


🌸 Enjoy every moment swaying in the wind

Lightly swaying lawn cherry blossoms are the essence of spring itself. By capturing a moment of slight movement, you can also capture a soft atmosphere.
