lct Posted September 19, 2021 Share #21 Posted September 19, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) According to Wikipedia "Typically, still life photos are not close up to the subject nor far away, but at a very head-on angle. The art in still life photography is often in the choice of objects that are being arranged and the lighting rather than the skill of the photographer". Not sure i have ever shot this way. Here perhaps? (CL + Tri-Elmar 28-35-50/4) Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Hi lct, Take a look here Still Life - open to all Leica gear. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted September 19, 2021 Share #22 Posted September 19, 2021 Nice shot, but more macro than still life. The essence of a still life is an arrangement of a number of (unrelated) objects to produce a pleasing composition. Often the choice of objects has a symbolic meaning. Like this painting by Pieter Claesz (1628), depicting the brevity of life. Welcome, dear visitor!

I think it's more about an arrangement and collection of items. Closest I get is doing the product photography for our daughter's business. She spends hours trawling through old junk shops, collects old fabric, letters, stamps, small items of furniture that can serve as a surface, backdrop and add texture. Setting the stage. Because I usually take the image looking down to highlight the print design it's not quite still life but I think it follows similar principles. It's having an eye to put the arrangement together, and lighting correctly. This example didn't make the cut but to show what I mean. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted September 19, 2021 Share #29 Posted September 19, 2021 The last is the most “still life”. One essential aspect is the arrangement of a number of components. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) In my opinion, Still Life should be a category by itself in the Photo Forum, open to all Leica cameras. This is something that only the administrator/owner of LUF could decide. Since we do not have this category and I was in the CL gallery, as a CL user, I opened it as it is. It looked working well till it was moved to a different place. Edited September 23, 2021 by Louis Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted September 23, 2021 Share #35 Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) "Still life" would be a great category... after all a well established genre in several art disciplines. All you have to do Louis is start one, in the Photo Forum...it's not always required by intervention by the moderators. And keep it open to all Leica camera stuff...usual rules. I have one going "Rust" and corrosion which is bubbling along. I'll support with something beaut. ...

Louis Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share #36 Posted September 23, 2021 Hello David, I wish it was possible. But only Andreas, the Administrator of the site, can do any change; remove, add or replace any gallery. We discussed this issue several times in the past but it never happened. I guess if more people request for this new topic in the Photo Gallery, , the Administrator may consider it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
