Steve, I hope it’s a Bonsai oak tree if you’re going to put it on a scanner!
If you try this at home, be sure to share the results with me. I think you’d be good at this kind of thing.

What a great idea for photographing plants! I’ve got to try this on my oak tree (it’s a very small oak tree).

Roxanne, I believe the artist doesn’t need to drape the arrangement. If you experiment at home, you’ll find that scanning with the top of the scanner left open results in a black background. She goes in digitally to even it out and get rid of spots of stray light.

So, the black background is done completely digitally? Or does she drape some kind of black material over the arrangements before scanning? Crazy beautiful stuff … either way.
