Flatlay Love

I am fairly obsessed with flatlay photography. I recently got this new backdrop and this gorgeous wreath and so I spent an afternoon photographing it.

This post is the reason why I couldn’t eat my lemon meringue pie until the next day!

Sorry if I am a little absent this week and next – my family is visiting from interstate 🙂

    Beautiful still life. I can see that photography beats food in your hierarchy of values. Now, I want to know about backdrop. I need onethat won’t gleam at me.

      Thanks Meg. It’s from an American company called Mini Backdrops. I also have two pink ones (plain pink and pink concrete!). They are 60 x 60cm. Some are adhesive and some are vinyl.

    Desley–these are beautiful. I never knew what this kind of photography was called. Flatlay. Thank you!

      Thanks Lois! I love it. It’s not as easy as it seems to be able to photograph things from above. Getting the styling right is one thing, but then holding your camera perfectly flat is incredibly difficult. Even with a tripod can be hard. These shots were all hand held.
