Still Life Photography

Today we will set up and photograph a Still Life photograph using various objects and lighting.

Use s Shutter Speed of 1/60 or greater
Use a wide Aperture for Shallow Depth of Field

Use the lowest ISO that will work

In a Still Life photograph you have complete control over the composition, lighting, and exposure settings of the picture.

It does not have to be composed of a lot of things. A single object that is dramatically lighted is sometimes the best way to go.

You need to take the foreground and background into consideration as well. Choose a dark backdrop or textures in your picture as well.

You can focus on close ups and details....



or use Shallow Depth of Field 



or capture the entire object with dramatic shadows....



or set up an interesting composition...





Use shadows and repetition



or use even lighting
