If you’d prefer to have your garden-themed photoshoot indoors, rather than finding an actual garden to shoot in, you still have tons of options thanks to the numerous garden photoshoot backgrounds that are available for purchase or rental. You can start your search at online retailers that specialize in photography supplies, including photography backdrops. Explore online stores that offer a variety of garden-themed backdrops, where it’s easy to choose backgrounds that align with your creative vision. Etsy is a great place to look for these and buy them from small businesses that offer personalized service. If you’d prefer to locate your backdrops in person, you can contact local photography supply rental companies – they often offer a wide range of backdrops, including garden-themed ones that feature plants, flowers, and natural landscapes. You can also make your own garden-inspired backdrops by hanging floral arrangements/artificial flowers or greenery on a plain, solid-colored backdrop or piece of fabric. This gives you the most control over the textures, colors, and composition.

It’s easy to find amazing garden photoshoot locations with just a little bit of research! We’d recommend starting your search on Peerspace, which is the largest online marketplace for short-term hourly rentals – you can locate gardens in your area by doing a search for photoshoot locations in your area, and then narrowing it down by checking off “garden” under the outdoor spaces section of the search filter pop-up. You can also do more general online research, looking for websites, blogs, and social media platforms showcasing beautiful gardens near you. Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Google reviews are excellent resources for locating nearby gardens. You can also find garden photoshoot locations in person, visiting nearby parks to scout for potential photography locations. Look for gardens that appeal to your aesthetic preferences and that suit your creative vision, and do your best to imagine how it would feel to have a photoshoot in them.

Outfits for a garden photoshoot should complement (or perhaps intentionally contrast with, if that’s more your speed) your natural surroundings. There’s a reason that romantic pastels are a popular choice for garden photoshoots, such as a pastel-colored dress or a skirt with lace details. Delicate jewelry and a flower crown or other organic-inspired hair accessories can help to enhance the ethereal feel. You can also go for flowy bohemian attire, like a long, lightweight maxi dress with floral patterns, a wide-brimmed straw hat, sandals, and lots of eclectic layered accessories that contribute to a whimsical boho vibe. Whatever outfit you end up wearing, an earth tone color scheme can blend beautifully with your garden backdrop. Some of our favorite earthy hues include olive green, burnt orange, and mustard yellow. Wooden or woven accessories will complete the rustic feel. And don’t forget that for a successful photoshoot, whatever outfit you choose should make you feel comfortable and confident.

Seeking ideas for a studio garden photoshoot? Let your creativity bloom with some diverse sources of inspiration. For a studio garden photoshoot, we imagine you’ll be shooting in a photo studio while trying to cultivate the natural vibe associated with a garden using features like props and backdrops. Although this might be more work than simply capturing the existing beauty of a garden, it also gives you a lot of room for control over the aesthetic of your shoot! To get you started, why not do a deep dive into the vast realm of garden-related social media profiles, like those on Instagram and Pinterest? You’ll find captivating visuals shared by photographers (professional and amateur alike) under hashtags like #gardenphotoshoot, as well as related hashtags. You can also seek out inspiration for your studio garden photoshoot at local libraries or bookstores by delving into photography books that feature shoots in gardens and other natural outdoor spaces. These can be an ideal source for developing your own photoshoot concepts.

The lush greenery, colorful flowers, and dappled sunlight of a garden offer a captivating subject – or backdrop, if you’re shooting portraits, objects, or just about anything else – for photography. We’ve got tons of excellent garden photoshoot ideas for you, so be sure to keep reading!
