The flowers in the vase at home were replaced with a bouquet of Chinese roses, their centers a soft pink, fading to white at the petals, with just a hint of green along the edges. Against the white backdrop of the wall, they swayed faintly in the breeze, hazy and dreamy—just how I like it.
I mounted my Fujifilm medium-format digital camera, the GFX 50s II, attached an adapted Nikon-mount Sigma 150mm macro lens, and captured a series of close-ups.
The out-of-camera shots were already quite good—colors, contrast, white balance, and details were all perfectly usable. But they still fell short of the feeling I wanted—soft and dreamy.
After importing them into my computer, I used DXO PhotoLab to tweak them into the vision I had in mind.
