Hi
I'm a wedding stationer, and I currently use a professional photographer to take the images for me, to use on my designs. But I would like to start trying to take the images myself, but as a beginner, I'm going to need a little advice.
I have a Canon 300D SLR and was wondering what equipment I would need to be able to take good quality photographs of flowers. My designs are usually of a single flower set against a white background.
Do you recommend the table top studios that you can get, or would this be for web shots only?
If this isn't the way to go, what lighting etc do you recommend I should buy.
I don't want to go overboard, and spent thousands on equipment that I'll only be using a few times a year, but on the other hand, I want to be able to take good photographs. It will only be flowers that I'll be shooting, or maybe the odd smaller product.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Lisa
