I love me a beautifully crafted flat lay. They are really popular on Instagram and you can find flat lays of all sorts- beauty, workspace, fashion, food, etc. To me, it’s a form of photography styling. Usually, flat lays consist of multiple elements in a shot where they are styled to be showcased either randomly or perfectly organized. There is one common theme- visual storytelling. This is where I can really relate. I love evoking an emotional response through a well-crafted visual message.
Below are a few of my very own flat lays from my Instagram account:
For me, creating a beautiful flay lay is simple. Always use a background that is not distracting so that your subjects can really pop. My favorite is a white marble countertop. I often shoot my flat lays on my marble coffee table. Secondly, make sure that you take an unobstructed bird’s eye view of the frame. Easy no?

I love the idea of telling stories through images! Anything that tells a story in a quirky or different way is right up my alley. Great photos!
