Still life is one of the many challenging categories of photography where the photographer expresses himself like that of a painter. Here, the photographer manipulates everything prior to shooting in order to come up with the ideal photos that he has in his mind. Arranging the subject for still life is somewhat demanding too because the photographer must have some skills in composition and aesthetic sense so that the objects he intends to shoot may have proper balance and in order. Lighting is also a very important factor in still life as it creates the ambience that gives soul to inanimate objects. The composition can be in high key to express liveliness and warmth or low key to produce an eerie, mystifying effect. All in the middle of the two keys are the more usual approach yet still can be tricky.
To present the subject effectively depends on knowing which type of light is to be used. It is very important to consider the type of light so that the natural color of the subject can altered or be captured. Nevertheless, the type of light to be used still depends on the photographer’s personal choice or on what purpose the photograph is intended to be used.
There are many possibilities with still life that some photographers may tend to overlook. Aside from rearranging the objects and using different lightings, it can also be manipulated with ease by using photo editing software. What you can create with even a single picture is just a matter of imagination.

Photography is very important in the fashion industry. As models give clothes and accessories a kind of life, fashion photographers capture that kind of life and let the people see how the clothes look good and how the accessories accentuate the body. Fashion houses and labels cannot hold runway shows everyday to shoppers and not all shoppers have the time and resources to attend a runway show. This is where I come in, in a pictorial for a magazine or website. I am a fashion photographer.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and photography is an expression of an individual’s unique perception of the outside world; an expression of one’s inner vision –an art.
The way we gaze at photographs tells a lot about our interest; and the quantity of what and whose photos we keep in our photo albums somehow tells about what we value the most. The photos we hang on our home and office walls, photos on our desktop; and even our computer and mobile phone screen savers speak about our ‘self.’ They may be our own portraits, our family members, favorite pets, places we visited, special events, celebrities, scenery, or anything that we are emotionally attached to. These photos tell stories about ourselves; speaking of the things we value, expressing our pride and joy; and give comfort to our soul.
