How to shoot excellent natural still life

Often placed objects can form a pleasing composition, but they are not deliberately arranged together for photography, so they are called natural still lives. The secret of shooting natural still life is to find the right shooting angle and use reasonable lighting to transform the image in your mind into the image on film.

Natural order and pattern

Tools with the same function are arranged together, which seems to have a natural sense of harmony.

When this photo was taken, although the sun hung low behind the shed, there was still enough light to illuminate the scene. A row of tools accidentally leaned against the shed door-they were being cleaned before cleaning, and the unicycle was moved to the front of the picture because its shape and color had a positive effect on the foreground.

Sunlight passes through the greenhouse and is colorful. The white wall behind the main body can be used as a rich background and reflector. It not only improves the photometry of the scene, but also sets off the dark area. Nostalgic feelings

The sunlight coming through the window adds interest to the painting. Glass bottles and scales are mixed with cobwebs, which makes people remember them vividly. There are a lot of flowerpots, gardening tools and dried bulbs on the workbench, which form a harmonious still life picture because of the consistency of color, shape and use.
