Tips for Photographing Flowers with Christin Geall
Flower Discoveries: Protecting Yourself While Processing Florals
We’re back with some flower discoveries! This week, Jesse is sharing a tip from Team Flower Member Jennifer Kosinski about the importance of wearing gloves when you process or design with flowers. (Jennifer wrote a blog about this, too! You can find it here.) You’ll even hear Kelly and Amanda’s go-to gloves—fox gloves and mud gloves, respectively. We’re also talking about recycling and sustainability—and how we can each practice this in small ways to make a big impact.
We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly. —Ann-Marie Bonneau
