Digital Photography Tutorials and Techniques STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY Clive R. Haynes FRPS. Still Life, as with so much of photography, has its roots firmly embedded in the romanticism of traditional painting techniques. During the 17th century a branch of Dutch painting created an almost specialist form of the still life and raised it to the state of high/fine art. The subjects for still-life pictures are often simple and commonplace. It's hardly surprising then that photographers since the inception of the medium have sought to emulate the traditional forms of still-life. Still life photography presents the photographer with something of a "blank canvas" and in this respect the beginning is closely allied to the traditional, painterly forms of art. In still life photography all the elements of picture making are under control. Examples of still life are all around and can be found within brochures, catalogues paintings, advertising, magazine and book covers and within fine art galleries. Remember, still life can be found and created anywhere.
