Still Life Photography

What is still life photography?

       Still life subject is an inanimate object but other subjects are loosely termed as still life as well. These include flowers, food, etc. They are life forms but they don’t move. —Because the subjects are smaller, lighting coverage is less and alternatively less power is needed. —Still life setups can be lit with just daylight from a large window and/or the use of one or two flash guns with the aid of a few large white cards to utilize as reflectors.

10 tips to get started with still life photography:

1) Getting started : don't need a a studio to make a start with still life photography, we can begin by simply using a space at home, such as a table placed by a window, along with a simple backdrop and utilizing a couple of lamps.

2) Choosing the subject: find something simple but interesting to start with.

3) Lighting: using standard lamps or try multiple positioning set ups.

4) Tripods and Angles: depending on our lighting situation, we may or may not need to use a tripod and shutter release.

5) Get the backdrop right:keep it nice and simple, so it doesn't interfere with your subject.

6) Composing the shot: is an absolutely crucial part of ensuring that your work is engaging and unique.

7) Taking all day over it: try a few shots

8) Inspired by the masters:  find some inspiration.

9) Now it's our turn: try setting up our camera and backdrop by a suitably light spot next to  a window  and get snapping!!

10) Sharing session: share them online, this may provide a feedback on how to enhance our skill of photography :)
