Still Life Photography

Still life photography- the photography of inanimate objects purposefully arranged and lit.

Blueberries

I enjoy setting up still life shots. There is something satisfying about capturing something as I pictured it in my mind. I usually use natural light, sometimes setting up outdoors for more light.

Green Pea

I like what light direction and shadows add to the photo.

Cherry

                               or using available window light.

Morning Coffee

Sometimes setting up the shoot takes a different turn than the original plan. The original plan may not work for one reason or another, lighting, balance, colors whatever. just keep arranging until it works, like you pictured it in your mind.
