Still life

Yes, we do have a studio, backgrounds, lights, gels, everything to setup and photograph great still life images, but what about just walking down the street and looking into shop windows. Watch for high-end clothiers, boutiques, department stores, antique galleries, museums and in this case, a local historical society, just for starters. Each employs designers and artists who specialize in setting up displays, or still lifes, just waiting to be photographed.

As you look at the bottle and jug, which one do you relate to? Is it the clear bottle in front that is so transparent that everyone can see through it or is it the solid jug partially hidden in the background? Are you someone who partially hides behind a transparent person yet plays an integral role in defining their character? Perhaps you’re one of the smaller multipurpose jugs off to the side that keeps to yourself ready to be used when needed.
