Still life may be considered a weird subject but one that is fascinating. It allows you to make an everyday object extraordinary.
Surfaces, outlines and shapes, reflections are often crucial to making the photo interesting. Often there’s a fine line between an image being wonderful or boring.
An example can be clearly seen with my award winning Whippet photo. We all know what they look like but can you show it in a slightly different way with a slight twist or from a different angle? Do you need to see the head?
I shoot more and more ingredients and the skills learned from being a still life photographer enable me to make a simple ingredient more interesting. The most everyday object can be beautiful.
