25 spring photoshoot ideas (blossoms, flowers and soft light)

Spring is about soft colour: pale blossoms, fresh green and pastel skies. To keep that softness on iPhone, shoot on bright overcast days or in the early morning, raise the exposure slightly so whites stay white, and get close to the flowers so they fill the foreground. Here are 25 ideas.

Blossoms

1. Under a cherry tree, petals falling.

2. Branches framing the face. Shoot through blossoms in the foreground.

3. Petals in cupped hands.

4. Looking up at the tree, shot from below.

5. Petals on the path.

Flower fields

6. Tulip rows. Shoot down a row so the lines lead to you. The Vanishing Point guide uses those converging lines.

7. Sitting in wildflowers.

8. Holding a bunch of daffodils.

9. Flower crown portrait at 3x.

10. Small figure in a big field of colour.

Picnics and gardens

11. Picnic flat lay. Strawberries, flowers, lemonade. The Aerial Triangle guide places three items.

12. Reading on a blanket.

13. Planting seedlings. Hands in soil.

14. Farmers' market flowers.

15. Watering the garden.

Rainy spring days

16. Clear umbrella in the rain.

17. Puddle reflections.

18. Raindrops on petals, at 3x.

19. Rain boots splashing.

Couples and family

20. Walking under blossoms, hand in hand.

21. A kiss under the tree.

22. Kids running through flowers.

23. An Easter egg hunt.
