Creating botanical prints
I've always had a liking for the old style botanical prints so have decided to create a few for myself.
During the COVID lockdowns in the UK I took a number of wildflower portraits against a white background in my improvised home studio set up. To create the images for the prints I used Lightroom to prepare the original RAW images to my liking and then transferred them to Photoshop to cut out the plant portrait and, using layers, added a graduated green to blue background to replace the original white. Text layers were then added to provide the titles before the whole lot was saved and transferred back to Lightroom for final checking and print preparation.
I think they work well for the four I've done so far though I'm still at the experimental stage. Here's the other two.
