Still Life

For the next 12 weeks I am to complete research and present images that represent the genre of photography that is Still Life. Still Life photography is generally a portrayal of a group of objects, that represent range of elements that will make the photograph look beautiful in the sense of, that it is appealing to its audience. The setting up and how the subject matter is placed is a huge aspect of this type of photography because it has to be engaging. Whether it is food or a number of small objects, they must be styled accordingly to how the photograph is going to used when completed. It is important to have good composition in still life photographs because it should take time for it to look exactly right and moving the objects around to get different shots can also create different view points  with different angles. Lighting is also very important with Still Life and is option captured in a studio where lights are needed and to make the subject look successful through camera.
