The Magic of Flower Photography with Anne Belmont | B&H Event Space

Anne Belmont’s passion for flower photography shows through her ethereal and magical photos. In this photography seminar, Anne will give a peek into her techniques: how she uses life experiences in her visual storytelling and how she takes risks and experiments. She will also cover how Lensbaby allowed her to create her abstract and fine art photos in-camera, as their lenses allow for a shallow depth of field. We hope this presentation will inspire you with creative photography ideas!

Expected some help and inspiration for flower photography, got a whole advert for Lensbaby.

[@jocelynelebon5230]

Fantastic presentation! Thank you so much, Anne, for your passion and inspiration.

[@johnwest5887]

I have been into macro flowers lately but this has changed my mantra from "Focus, focus, focus" to "Yes Baby". A real outlook changer from technical to emotional. Thank you much!

[@lauramacky4083]

Thank you for this informative and inspirational presentation. I’m looking forward to ordering my first lensbaby.

[@odarrien]

Lovely presentation. Anne you have really wonderful images!!!!! I love your philosophy behind your photography.

[@allisonshelton4994]

Wow! Ann, I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation,you have given me so much inspiration. I am currently waiting for the velvet 56mm to be in stock and I can't wait!

[@nicerides9224]

This was the longest infomercial I've ever watched but well worth it. Anne's photos are just phenomenal. Great presentation.

[@Bunnyisms]

I loved the diopter tip! It helps a lot especially if you just got a new pair of glasses, but I think it's good to check every few months just the be sure. I also loved what Anne said about art and therapy. I sometimes watch Robin Wong (Olympus Visionary) and he often talks about what he calls "shutter therapy." The impressionist look on so many of these photos tho, there's so much feeling there

[@BonnieAllenArts]

Anne's teaching style is as beautiful as her photographs!

[@annebelmont7460]

Thank you, Bonnie! Appreciate your kind comment!

[@inesf04]

I fall in love with those images. Even if it is a lens baby commercial, and I am not planning to buy those lenses, but I get inspired to try it with close up filters. Thanks

[@danvander-ark1309]

Love love love this!

[@BrianJohnson-bq9tr]

What a terrific video. Ann, your work is truly stunning. I do not do floral photography but, my girlfriend does and I am going to sit and wat h this again with her. You sound like such a lovely lady.

[@stans6582]

GREAT presentation guys...............THANK YOU both

[@picbygiz]

just found this, wow love this presentation. Thanks.

[@georgemundell6958]

Such a great presentation about this product line.

[@lorraine6185]

Beautiful Work Anne!

[@jamessulester]

Nice rundown of lenses, Anne I will need to try my 3 macros w my sweet80 to see how different results vary from sweet50

[@johntravena119]

Your love for flowers really comes through. I want that in my photographs! Rupert Sheldrake, the parapsychologist, did a lecture titled Why Is There So Much Beauty In The World? You can find it on KZbin. He says how a bee will be attracted to a crude painted cardboard reproduction of a flower, but flowers are truly gilded lilies - some of them have colors beyond the spectrum that the human eye can perceive. 😊

[@georgemundell6958]

This is one of best presentations because you can see the instructor and the beautiful images. Also the great information that is given.

[@trevorhansen4943]

Thank you for the motivation

[@ngodinhhoang]

Thank you very much !❤💚💙

[@GBB70]

Ordered the 56 and 85, but may send the 56 back since I use the Z camera bodies. I have a NISI close Up filter that with a 67-77mm step up ring will work on the velvet 85. Nice presentation.

[@elsiepoynton9576]

I have just bought the Trio 20 for SONY 7111 is there any video on this , also which other lenbaby would you advice for mirror less camera ,Thanks for this love u work. I meant which would you recommend for Sony for beginner

[@keithswindell6212]

Not bad for a Lensbaby Infomercial

[@marilyngiannuzzi9867]

Loved this,thank u so much.I am trying to learn my lens babies!!

[@zahireduardo8463]

I know I am kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@axtonheath8170]

@Zahir Eduardo i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@jorgelionel4241]

@Axton Heath Definitely, I have been using FlixZone for since march myself :)

[@zahireduardo8463]

@Axton Heath thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !

[@axtonheath8170]

@Zahir Eduardo Happy to help xD

[@wowazaharow3930]

Просто Супер 😄😄😄

[@goghtube1890]

Awesome @annebelmontphotography

[@annebelmont7460]

Thanks so much!

[@lynettebell8534]

Can I use my 50 mm to get a similar result?

[@MitchGaar]

What can I do to help the focus breathing on Canon EF 100mm Macro?

[@BandH]

Using extension tubes will reduce or eliminate focus breathing. Bear in mind that autofocus will no longer be available and there will be some light loss. Some image quality may also be lost. >Mark

[@mcddetectrespect.7467]

This is more about the camera lens than the flowers, great pictures but it’s a pity that wasn’t the main subject.

[@cirf1979]

Will these lens work with both crop sensor and full frame

[@thomastuorto9929]

She shows Fuji which only seels medium format or asp-c=crop. Call B&H or your local camera store. Very artistic!

[@BandH]

Most full frame Lensbaby lenses are compatible with full-frame format sensors as well as APS-C format sensors. The same goes for FX format sensors as well as DX format sensors. >Mark

[@thomastuorto9929]

What make is your camera? With Nikon , both are F-mount. There are a lot of adapters out there also.

[@cirf1979]

I have a canon 5t and a canon 5d mark ii

[@annebelmont7460]

Claudia, yes, the lenses work with both crop and full frame. The Velvet 85mm is recommended for full frame, however.

[@marilyngiannuzzi9867]

Can I use a ring flash on my lens baby 56?

[@BandH]

As long as the ringflash offers a 62mm adapter to fit your Lensbaby 56mm lens, you would be in good shape.

[@marilyngiannuzzi9867]

@@BandH yes I just found that out,thanks!

[@kevinhughes5157]

Nice images, nut job philosophy. Best watched with the sound off.

[@vidoman362]

She does fantastic work, and excellent photographer!! However Denise Ioppolo, and Arthur Morris done this presentation about 5-6 yrs before Anne Belmont.

[@mrstylesb]

What this video needs is more, and larger, distracting logos.
