Lessons Learned the Hard Way: My outtakes on still life photography
What is still life photography? This question comes to my mind as the judging of our final project is happening. Did I really miss the point of this concept or are the judges too traditional? When they announced the winner, I was crushed. I have high expectations and not hearing my name on the top five broke my heart.
Mind you, this is basic photography class and we are required to produce a still life shot of fruits. I immediately thought of going beyond what is traditional, which is arranging the fruits to make it look good. I don’t want to be contained with that idea so I went outdoors for my shots. My shot below is what I submitted for my finals.
Should I chose to enter the photo below, I could have gotten a higher rank. But then, as I came to think of it, I would not also be happy choosing that photo over my original entry. This is when I realized that I had yet to find another audience for my photo. Being radical or thinking out of the box would not really work in group where mainstream photography prevails. Nonetheless, I was happy expressing my art!

Still-life photography really shows how much composition, lighting, and small details can influence an image. I like the idea of exploring different approaches rather than relying on one formula. Careful photo retouching can also help refine those details while keeping the original mood and character of the photograph.
