Guidelines to Take Dahlia Photos That Look Stunning

There are a few guidelines to keep in mind while taking photos of your dahlias. With the right techniques your photos will look as good as any professional.

Landscape Orientation

It is best to take dahlia photos in landscape orientation for online viewing. What is landscape orientation? Photos in landscape orientation are horizontal. Landscape oriented photos tend fill space much better online than their vertical counterparts.

Let the Sun Illuminate Your Dahlia

When taking stunning dahlia photos, wait for the sun to illuminate your dahlia. The bloom should be in full sun for the best photo possible.

Avoid Your Own Shadow

As you take dahlia photos, it’s important to keep your shadow from getting in the way.

If you find that your shadow stays in the way of your shot, move to a different side of the dahlia. There should be other angles that work much better. The angles that do not include your shadow are generally great shots that are more-than-likely lit nicely.
