Still Life Presentation

The Monthly Challenge for the next meeting is Still Life or Holiday Still Life. You can watch the PowerPoint presentation which I did in class to get some ideas and inspiration regarding the placement and lighting for your still life. Keep in mind the following when thinking about your still life:

Find something that interests you to be the subject of your still life.
Think about the layout of your objects. Remember that in a still life simple is better.
Use lighting to emphasize the objects.
Use objects in your still life that fit into a common theme. For example: kitchen utensils, fruit, dishes, flowers, vegetables etc. These are just arbitrary examples that I came up with.
Try to use an artistic eye. Either by way of lighting or in post processing.
Work on the composition. Watch the videos below to get some ideas.
Think outside of the box.
