Inspiration
When searching for subjects for a still life
shot, try using some personal items. Objects
such as jewelry or watches, a collection of
trinkets you bought on vacation, or even
seashells you brought home from the
beach. If you’re interested in cooking try
photographing some dishes you prepared.
Fruits and vegetables are always good sub-
jects, especially when they have vivid colors
or interesting texture.
