Slideshow: International Garden Photographer of the Year Winners

International Garden Photographer of the Year Winners

'Fireworks' by Jill Welham | IGPOTY

The winning photographs from the International Garden Photographer of the Year Competition 12 have been announced, with the top prize going to photographer Jill Welham of North Yorkshire, England for the above photograph titled 'Fireworks' that was submitted under the Abstract category.

Passionate about the cyanotype print process, 'Fireworks' showcases the details of three Allium heads created using a wet cyanotype process.

'This image of three Allium heads was created using a technique known as wet cyanotype. Two chemicals, ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide, are mixed together to create a photosensitive solution which is painted onto the surface of watercolour paper and left to dry,' says Welham in the image's description. 'This process needs to be conducted away from UV light, and once dry the paper must be kept in a light-proof bag until it is used.'

In addition to Welham's photograph, we've rounded up the remaining dozen winners from each of the remaining twelve categories. The winning photographs were narrowed down from more than 19,000 entries from over 50 countries.

The IGPOTY Competition 13 contest is already taking submissions. You can find out more information and submit your work on the IGPOTY website.

Capturing Home Elegance: Determining the Time Needed for Residential Property Photography

When it comes to showcasing a residential property through photography, the time invested in the shoot is a crucial consideration. Several factors contribute to the duration of a property photography session, and understanding these elements helps in planning a successful and efficient shoot.

Property Size and Complexity: The size and complexity of the residential property play a significant role in determining the time needed for photography. Larger homes with intricate layouts, multiple rooms, and unique architectural features may require more time to ensure comprehensive coverage.

Interior and Exterior Shots: The inclusion of both interior and exterior shots influences the overall duration of the photography session. Exterior shots capturing the curb appeal, landscaping, and architectural details contribute to a well-rounded representation of the property. Balancing these with interior shots to showcase each room and highlight key features adds to the overall time investment.

Staging and Preparation: Preparing the property for the shoot involves staging each room to present it in the best possible light. This may include arranging furniture, ensuring proper lighting, and decluttering spaces. The more meticulous the staging, the more time it will take to create visually appealing and inviting images.

Lighting Considerations: Optimal lighting is crucial for capturing the essence of a residential property. Depending on the time of day, natural light conditions, and the use of supplementary lighting equipment, the photographer may need to adjust settings and compositions to achieve the desired results.

Equipment Setup and Breakdown: Setting up photography equipment, including cameras, tripods, lighting, and any additional tools, requires time at the beginning of the shoot. Similarly, breaking down the equipment at the end of the session adds to the overall time commitment.

A Balance of Efficiency and Quality The time needed for residential property photography varies based on property size, complexity, staging requirements, lighting considerations, and the inclusion of both interior and exterior shots. Striking a balance between efficiency and delivering high-quality images is essential. Clear communication between the photographer and property owner can help streamline the process, ensuring that each unique aspect of the residential property is captured thoughtfully and professionally
