Still life photography has a long dated history and goes back
to ancient times where a camera obscuras where used. This type
of still life was done by standing in a dark room and through
a
pinhole placed in the wall the outside world was projected
onto
the opposite wall, but it is given that they where shown
upside
down and in vivid color. So as it stands today, still life
photography has the same concept and idea, but done a lot
differently and much more hi tech. Still life photography in
the home studio is an old and ancient form of art and very
prestigious.
The beauty of having to do still life in the comfort of a home
studio is that you can capture a certain mood you are looking
for and express it on film. All that will be needed is any
object or objects that strike you as beautiful, strange or
even
the most common thing found in or around your home. Add some
unique lighting sources at different angles and you are well
on
your way to take a great still life photograph. It is easy to
produce a very creative and beautiful picture because you have
the control over all the elements in your studio.
The subjects of still life can convey a classic look and
flowers do the perfect job for this look, they are
extraordinary and very easy to photograph. This type of still
life subject will always be a reminder of a simple but a
powerful beauty that we see almost every day in a photo. To
create a bold still life that gives off flair try placing your
subjects on a white background. This will accentuate the color
of the object and create a unison look overall in the
photo.Remember - with still life photography - everything has
a
special beauty.
