I made this Portrait for Elodie at the Botanic Garden, Berlin in 2023. In wintertime, if you are looking for an outdoor shoot, probably cold weather will be a challenge for your model. Botanic Garden Berlin (Botanischer Garten Berlin) is one of the best photo spots for taking photos in Berlin. There are so many beautiful plants and flowers from all around the world. I made all portraits with the available natural light. If you are visiting Berlin and looking for a location for photography, read my post here.
Analog portrait for Elodie at the Botanic Garden
I love Analog photography and started to photograph analog in the year 2000 when I was a 13-year-old teenager. I made these portraits with my Mamiya RB67 medium format camera with a 180 mm Lens. My film was a Kodak Portra 800. I developed my film in the Foto Kotti Lab in Berlin, then I digitized my negatives with my digital camera. If you want to learn how to scan your film negatives with a digital camera, click here.

If you are planning to take photos or video at Berlin botanischer garten, there are some rules and guidelines:
- you can only walk in the tracks.
- removing the signs and tags is forbidden.
- When you are using Tripods or Light stands, you need to give way to other visitors and not block the way.
- If you are using lights that make a hit, you need to inform the responsible people in the Garden.
- Do not touch the Plants.
- To use drones, you need to get an extra permit.
- Be careful about data protection rules in Germany. If any of the visitors are in your frame, be sure you can get permission from them, or don’t use the footage or photos.
