"Preserving Cherished Items: The Art of Flat Lay Photography"
2022.01.16 published
The Photography Method Called "Flatlay"
This type of shot seen in overseas wedding photos.
The photography method called "flatlay," when translated literally, means to lay flat... it's a way of taking pictures.
In Japanese, "flatlay" could be likened to something like "placed object club."
In weddings, small items used during the ceremony are styled cutely with flowers, trays, ribbons, and other elements.
It’s even more wonderful if the styling items are related to the wedding.
Overseas, there are times when photographers capture flatlays in between snaps, or you could hire another photographer later (sending them items) just for this type of shoot.
Regardless, it's stylish, it's great for the cover of an album, and it looks lovely when printed and displayed in a photo frame! ♡
It would make me very happy to have photos taken like this.
In this article, I will introduce a variety of sample images beautifully capturing wedding accessories in flatlay style, categorized by items.*
It's romantic, and I love this world view! ♡ Let your imagination run wild about the kind of photos you would like to take.

I Want to Have Flatlay Images Taken ♡
The photography method of styling and arranging wedding accessories cutely and taking pictures in flatlay style.*
Japanese photographers often take shots of accessories on the spot, but it's rare to create such a strong world view and specialize in flatlay photography.
It's fine to ask someone special to help, and trying it yourself could be fun too.
It would be wonderful to capture such lovely photos! ♡
