Dried leaves add a sense of life, texture, and color to any still life. I recommend clipping any low stems from branches before drying. This creates a sturdy base for hang drying and a handle for arranging. If you'd like to dry delicate leaves use a flower press or tuck leaves between wax paper in a coffee table book.

ReplyDeleteThanks for all your tips. I love taking still life photos. Until I read your blog and put your ideas into place, my photos were always lacking. I have a lot to learn but your style tips sure help.
ReplyDeleteI grew up drying/pressing them in a HUGE Bible, but my 7-year old actually has a wooden press. Times have certainly changed! :)
