I've become interested in taking bright, colorful, flowery photographs. (It's amazing, I know). I've been trying to take clear close-up images of flowers and plants, mostly to improve my own photography skills.

I'd really like to create some meaningful work, however, and I'd love to try and work with real people. I'm not sure where to start though, as my skills are amateurish at best.

If there are any photographers out there with some tips on taking high-quality photographs, I'd love to hear them!
