Magic in the Poppy Field

17 days ago (Edited)

📸 🙌 Good morning dear Friends and Photography Lovers 🙌📸

We return again to poppies and their beauty, the magic of their fiery red color, their fragility, defiance and pride.

In this post I present photos of a well-planned photo session. I asked a friend who lives in a place not far from my city and she gave me the location of this field that I will now show you. I brought a hat with a large brim, a red umbrella and a long, large organza. There was also a camera tripod, but not for that purpose, but with the idea of putting the hat on it.

But, before I tell you everything about this exhibition of mine at the very beginning, let's start with the photos.

Some moments don't require much - just a red umbrella, a wide-brimmed hat, and a heart that feels the beauty of nature, that I feel beating inside me ❤️

The red umbrella is not just a prop – it becomes a symbol of contrast, life, passion. The hat blocks the view, but leaves enough room for imagination.

Here I imagined and realized, I would say quite successfully, placing a hat on a camera tripod and later in Photoshop editing I removed it with the Clone tool (I find this tool better than erasing).

a quote from an article about poppies that I really liked

"The duality of poppy symbolism existed as early as ancient Egypt, where the poppy was a favorite love flower. Lovers would give bouquets of blooming poppies or decorative dried heads to their chosen ones, while poppy heads were also traditional grave accessories, often placed in the coffins of young girls" ❤️❤️

📷 This was no ordinary session. This was a story without words, where poppies dream while the wind dances.

And while part of the white dress plays with the wind, nature becomes the perfect set designer – wild, honest and unique. 🌬️❤️

At the end of the post, I'm posting photos with color selection. All photos were taken in May 2021 with the Olympus E-M10 Mark III and subsequently processed in Photoshop.
