I love still life photography. Even though it is a very controlled situation, I like to use this kind of work to tell a story. It can be a metaphor too. Still Life's are the basis for a lot of editorial photography. I see it as a challenge to use my imagination. For those of you who are wanting to try this, keep in mind the laws of thirds to keep your self balanced in the image. I even sometimes consider a pool of light one of my elements. The following photos I used are objects I have owned and used for a minimum of 25 years. I love to cook, especially with antique tools. The butcher block table is over 100 years old from a butcher shop in Pueblo Co.
My boots, note the holes from walking on photoshoots!
