Still Life - uhuuuu :)

Doing project “fifth senses “ for my class “photography genres “ lately I find myself into studio environment and still life photography. If you are not under pressure and have no time constraints, there is nothing better than having a play with studio lighting set up to experiment with new and fresh ideas! Still life photography is a chance to make, rather take a picture. In a funny way, the best thing about still life photography is , that model never gets tired, don’t get bored. :-)And specially it is a perfect rainy day activity . The object, you are taking photos can be anything, open refrigerator and here you go – modelling subjects ;-)

Couple photos of mine:

To make image to scream for attention , it is very important to find interest in color, shapes, textures .Also is important to create various compositions by arranging objects in interesting ways . To play around with composition , making different tricks, working with pose of the object, adding something there or there , that makes the image look great, unique , tasty .I found great Still life photographers as : (Alun Crockford, David Bishop, Jonathan Knowles, and really enjoy going threw their images. In Still life photography I prefer minimalism , tasty and smooth image. I enjoy image noise in different styles of photography, gives a little bit of mystery look , but in still life i am stick with a clear , glossy image.

Another thing why I like still life photography , that you can work with the light yourself, make the images with the soft light , beauty light, more shadows, to light background lighter or darker, it depends on the equipment you have , like yesterday, I was freezing myself outside the Lloyd's of London Headquarters building, waiting to sun go down, I wanted to take photo of building in the dark, anyway, I end up with the images I don’t like , so I had to come back today, then the sun was up. It’s not always a great idea to shoot outside , a lot depends on a weather . For right now, I'll try to improve and tune my vision in studio practice too.
