Still Life Photography

Today we will set up and photograph a Still Life photograph using various objects and lighting.

Use s Shutter Speed of 1/60 or greater
Use a wide Aperture for Shallow Depth of Field

Use the lowest ISO that will work

In a Still Life photograph you have complete control over the composition, lighting, and exposure settings of the picture.

It does not have to be composed of a lot of things. A single object that is dramatically lighted is sometimes the best way to go.

You need to take the foreground and background into consideration as well. Choose a dark backdrop or textures in your picture as well.

You can focus on close ups and details....
