Still life photography (post here)

my share for today:

good job on practicing your compo and lighting skills...

try shooting it again but this time add a white bounce on the left side of your subject to lighten the shadow a little bit... then add more space.


cheers!

In my opinion I dont think this is considered still life...

better be clear on your subject and composition...

in your photo it is clear that your subject is the bike... but on how you composed your shot does not add impact to it nor considered it as it was properly composed...



this might fit on street photography...


cheers!

to make it simpler: "Isolation of the subject is one of the best methods for Still Life photography" (strobing, bokeh with f1.4, plain background, etc.) sakto bah?

I mean... focus on your subject... medyo nakaka destruct yung nasa background...

white cartolina pwede... use a tripod para di mag camera shake (sikreto ng mga pasmado)

what I mean of add more space is add empty space on your composition...

para maka hinga hinga naman ang mga mata at maka pag focus sa subject.

Still life photography is the depiction of inanimate subject matter, most typically a small grouping of objects that are either human-made or "natural." Still life photography, more so than other types of photography, such as landscape or portraiture, gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition.

Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. Knowing where to look for propping and surfaces also is a required skill.

newbie question: okie raba kung tao ang subject? matawag ba gihapon na og still life?

I think that will fall on portraiture
