Hey, Katie!
No light box, no spots, no special devices! I always use natural, coated light and a well stretched black fabric in my photos. I like taking them in the morning, inside my shade house because of the bluer light characteristic of these hours of the day. It seems to produce better, more faithful color results. I am not a photo artist or professional, so I don't mind varying the background or producing light effects or stuffs like that. For me, the important thing is the flower and its beauty.
