Still life artwork has a history dating back centuries, and has existed in photography since it became a medium. Still life photography is often used as a way of demonstrating composition, framing, and lighting. This deceptively simple genre has endless variations and possibilities, and we will spend the day tackling some of these concepts!
In this hands-on workshop, we will talk about how to elevate still life images. We will discuss how to compose, light, and photograph your subject to convey the story and mood you envision. We will also show you how to get it right in camera so you can spend less time editing and more time shooting!
Attendees are recommended to not only bring their camera and tripod, but also consider bringing some basic items that you may want to photograph during the workshop.
