Link to any more weed shots? I lived in Humboldt for a bunch of years and had PLENTY of opportunity to photograph it, but was before I got into photography so I just have some 25 yr old shots I took of a grow closet with a disposable camera lol. We have medical in PA so I have opportunity to shoot buds that have already been cured and packaged, but that has virtually no interest for me. I wish I had access to fresh buds/plants still. Beautiful shot. I do like the rim lighting.

What is that big globe made from? Ive seen ping pong balls for high mag shots but you have a beach ball sized ping pong ball

I was invited to join a group tour of Grass Roots' new ten million dollar Cannabis Growing Facility, here in Maryland. After the boss spoke to the group at the end of the tour, I gave him my commercial photography business card and sought permission to return next day and photograph a flower.

I suggest you refine your lighting and setup in your studio, pick the nearest grower facility, buy one of their top 1/8ths , photograph it, have a large print made, and take it to the top guy at the grower. Offer one like it of a fresh picked, mature flower, if he'll let you set up in the facility to shoot it. Then sell him usage license for use in marketing.
