Flat lay photography has become popular on instagram and while it may appear simple, I find it to be pretty involved. My experience, so far, is limited to floral flat lay, and to manipulate the heads of the blooms can be frustrating (also, often times that bloom is no longer suitable for being used in an arrangement) I have only recently begun to explore this genre and I invite you all to give it a go. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Up until just now, I thought Flat Lay photography was pornographic! Thank you for enlightening me. The photos are bright and sharp w/ great color. I hope to see more of your work. ...makin’ me think...

Haymaker -- Beautiful pics

You have reminded me of something that I read 20 years ago or more.

This image was made with my flatbed scanner. The only tweak was to boost the saturation (in the scanner). I didn't even clean the glass, plenty of dust and probably a bit of dog hair. I got the black background by leaving the scanner lid open in a darkened room.

I hope that get time to do something that is actually worthy of your challenge.

This will be a wonderful challenge for many! I have two for now, and will try some new ones later today. Many of mine are food related, but here are a couple from my file.
