Fresh Farm Eggs from Waipu. {Still Life}Here our fourth project! I know November and December are pretty busy months for all of us, so I thought a better option would be to combine both months under a single theme. And our pictures would have to be submitted on December 14th. Do you like the idea?
Let me know your thoughts.
Our theme will be 'Christmas Still Life' – Still Life simply means putting nonliving objects together to create an image {having into account composition and lighting}—This is a wonderful technique that could help you achieve better mood in your food photography. When I was studying drawing and painting {yes, this is before I became a cook} my favorite class was practicing Still Life in Spanish Naturaleza Muerta which translated means “Dead Nature” – We used to have a large wooden table full of different objects; flowers, old plates, fabrics, glass bottles, etc. I loved moving objects around and trying new composition ideas.
However, to create this Christmas Still Life Photograph keep in mind our basics; shape, color and balance.
Remember to use your Props {plates/chopping boards, flowers, linens, glasses, bottles, etc.} to enhance your composition.
Here some wonderful examples from different photographers, I thought it would helpful if I posted a round-up of Still life photos as guidance, so you can get a clearer idea about the subject. I'd put together a variation of styles, colors and compositions about Still Life photographyto inspire you create!
