Photographic Still Life Simplicity

 Still life photography is a genre that allows you to create and compose objects within a pleasing presentation.  The layout of the objects should be arranged in a simple composition that allows a viewers eye to focus on the main object in the arrangement.  The space required for this genre can be as simple as your kitchen table.  The lighting can be any combination of window light and a portable LED light.  The background used can be two pieces of black poster board on a tabletop setting.

The use of flowers can make for a colorful still life.  In this post I use a series of different flowers separately composed into simple arrangements using singular props to accent the arrangements.  I have kept the layout simple in order to have the color and shapes of the flowers be the main focus of the viewer’s eyes.  However, the composition can be as creative as your imagination.  

All images were photographed using a Sony A7II camera.  I can be contacted for comments or questions at nymacc@gmail.com

Flowers In My Shoes

As a photographer, I sometimes find my images start to mirror the gloom that seems to permeate our present environment.   So it is time for a little change.

This blog post is devoted to a bit of fun.  I have decided to look at things with a curiosity and different perspective and maybe a smile.  This post it is basically photographing a couple of items that have no relation to each other, a sort of mixed up imagery.  Take some shoes and add a dash of flowers and you have a flower’s in my shoe post.
