Georgie's top tips for social media photography

Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers for some top tips re photography and film for social media. Georgie's business has relied on social media since she launched her flower farm in 2010 and as the platforms have grown and developed so has her expertise.

Here she tells you her most important considerations when photographing for social media, what she uses to take her photographs, and the essentials she relies on for telling the Common Farm Flowers story.

A cheap quick way to create a back drop , one of those cheap rolling garment racks , and drape a sheet in your color of choice over it . When done it easily can be pushed aside and used to hang extra things from , dried flowers, hanging plants or just hangers to store all the sheets/cloth back drops. Great tips for all photos !!!

[@theflowerfarmer]

That's a great idea! x

Thanks for always making great content. Precise and to the point🙏💚

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome x

Thank you again for a very informative video!!🌺 I am an architect at base and I would not recommend a black backdrop, black can easily become very hard against timid flowers and black tends to steal away color. I think, for example, the stone wall to the right in your video would do much better... 🤩

how interesting - my challenge is putting everything where no shadow falls - it'll be easier in the new space up the field I think as I can design my photography spot specially which I didn't do here x

[@patphilroberts148]

Thank you for explaining about the black backdrop,I will not mention it again 😊x

[@theflowerfarmer]

we'll get there one day x

I like your shelves very much. If you are taking pictures for a magazine or just single shots Instagram, use the black background. Otherwise, keep your vases on open shelves. I actually envy your shelves.

[@theflowerfarmer]

I agree that I think they tell an attractive story themselves x
