Still Life

Our next assignment is a continuation and an expansion of our still life lab. Select objects that might convey a message or create a narrative. Arrange them before the camera in a way that emphasizes their meaning and creates an interesting, dynamic composition.

Note that still life photographs are not documentation of things in the world. Taking pictures of things on shelves around your house is not the same as creating still life images. You must construct a scene for the camera, with careful consideration of the background, shooting surface (if different from the background), objects chosen, and arrangement of those things.

As usual, please shoot and upload 40-50 images then share your best 4-5 with the group.
