I Love You, Still

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.
