STILL LIFE

Still Life photography is one of the oldest and most versatile genres in the medium. At its heart, it’s about taking everyday objects — whether simple or elaborate — and arranging them with purpose to create something visually striking and emotionally resonant. Composition plays a central role, guiding the viewer’s eye and giving balance to the frame, while lighting sets the mood, from soft and contemplative to bold and dramatic. Colors add harmony or tension, shaping the overall atmosphere of the image. But perhaps most importantly, a strong still life goes beyond aesthetics — it tells a story. Whether it’s a reflection on beauty, time, memory, or culture, still life photography invites us to look closer and discover meaning in the details.

A few things worth noting:
Positive vs. Negative Space. What items/subjects are chosen to be part of your story?
Background (texture, colour etc.), Lighting (mood).

I highly encourage you to choose a topic beyond the traditional fruits and flowers!
