In this post, I want to discuss what I have been working on and show you how to approach still life photography differently. The subject for this shoot is the perfume bottle.
Still life photography is an interesting genre and one I am very much fascinated by. If you are familiar with my previous works you will notice that still life is something that I very much prefer to photograph.
As a still life photographer, I spend a lot of time in studio experimenting with different types of products. In a recent shoot, I did just this by photographing a perfume box.
In celebration of having been in this studio for one year, I decided to match the subject of this still life photograph to the festivities. A good bottle of wine – as beautiful to photograph as it was to drink.
Discovering new ways to photograph still life is very important to me. I love to explore these new ideas in my studio environment. Playing with light sources, different objects, and angles, and just being creative often leads to new ideas and results.
