still life photography

things to consider

• 10 still life photographs are to be produced of the same subject
• the 10 images could tell a story or simply sit together as a series
• Print size options small,medium or large, depending on the desired effect for the final presentation, though all prints should be of the same size for uniformity
• Paper choice should be made depending on the desired effect, matt of gloss, though again they should all printed on the same paper
• Photo format, film or digital or both
• the use of scanners and photocopiers should be considered
• Photoshop finishes may be applied, though all layers must remain visible for grading purposes
• Consider playing with aperture, shutter speed, macro and telephoto lenses, use a variety of lighting techniques including flash, fill, reflective, low light with out flash on a slow shutter speed and a high ISO & change the background or backdrops.
• Utilise a variety of Composition and Cropping alternatives
• Consider the nature of the objects and how best they can be photographed
