Introduction to Still Life Images and their Significance

A still life art can be in the form of a painting, drawing, or a photograph, however, the most popular are the images photographed by carefully arranging a group of objects (such as flowers and fruits). When we refer to something as still life image, we basically talk about a picture which predominantly consists of lifeless objects, where these objects are given life by one way or the other. Apart from the photography aspect, while we talk about the graphic arts form, the art piece is mainly concerned with the inanimate subject matter.


Still life photography is distinctive from other types of photography, such as landscape or portrait, because the photographer here has more freedom in the arrangement of design elements within the basic composition setup. The best part about these images is that they can be just about anything that doesn’t move. This form of photography is gaining a lot of demand nowadays, one of the most popular being flower still life photography. Customers are willing to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for a simple image, which they find fascinating and if they can relate the same art piece with their own life.

Still life photographers are equipped with the necessary skills to accomplish their work with an incredible sense of lighting, along with brilliant compositional skills. The still life photographers are also ‘create’ pictures rather than just ‘click’ them. Figuring out where to look for surfaces and propping is a must-have skill to be considered a credible still life photographer.
