Pouring coffee or tea and enjoy our favourites Side Lit Still Life shot!
The bold texture is enhanced by a powerful direct lighting technique!
Interesting results, and something we can all try in the comfort of our homes.
Even the smallest inanimate arrangements come to life with the right lighting technique. You can use the nearest window!
What a result, almost like a painting, as we can see by the softly lit tones!
Vanitas is a symbolic work of art that shows the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death.
Quite a classic composition with strong side lighting.
Cool and warm tones make perfect contrast to the colors, and the light coming from the side adds an extra layer of visual richness to the compositions below.
Still life photography doesn’t always have to be dark and moody; it can also be bright and harsh!
Beautiful!
Inadvertently, Jasenka came to this area of his city and took fantastic self-portraits full of beautiful colours.
Robert catches Killdeer standing in the Thermopolis Hot Springs.
And he also shared a beautiful moment where that bond was formed forever.
Philip ask for help with Lightning – maybe you can help him!
