Traditional still life photography is the art of photographing one or more groups of distinct, inanimate still objects intentionally chosen and carefully arranged for the purpose of artistic expression.
Creating still life, have at least three objects, carefully arrange the objects, try to make them distinct that they are not all the same – still life Traditionally implies that there no motion. Non-Traditional still life some photographers show motion.
Arranging still life objects think about: Adding height, textures, such as hard and smooth. Add colours Create curves, intentionally overlap or separate. Create depths to give a three-dimensional feel, create a mood and a tone think about the lighting.
