Frugal Still Life Photographer

My friend Cheryl is a wonderful photographer, and she has something special planned beginning in January. She will be hosting a free 8-week journey sharing techniques and tips for still life photography.

Personally, I'm not good about taking photos of things - I just place the item somewhere there's decent light and snap away.
 
Robbie, on the other hand, tends to think about the background and surrounding area when snapping a photo.

So, I'm excited to be signed up to participate in the Frugal Still Life Photographer journey. I'm looking forward to learning more about backgrounds, props, and setting up shots. Click here to check out all the details and sign up now so you don't miss out!

Do you tend to set up your still life photos . . . or, like me, simply snap a photo of the item?

  2. This sounds like an excellent course. I started to think more about backgrounds after I bought a book on photographing craft items. It's aimed at Etsy sellers and the like, but very useful

  7. I take the time only on occasion. Sometimes I spend that time just cropping the photo instead, although that doesn't always work.

  8. That sounds like something I need! I just snap the photos, but Phil has taught me to pay more attention to the lighting and background. He's still much better at it than I am.

  9. Actually I'm very interested in still life photography, so I'm off to check it out. We're on the road again in January, but maybe it will work out.

  10. It was so much fun to check out your recent posts this morning (before hitting "all read"). I really might try out the stitch it thing. If so, I'll definitely give you credit. It was fun to see the Taos staircases again, and congrats on the Design Team. Looking forward to being around more in the future.
