  • Sailing Along The Lifeline by Mui-Ling Teh

    A sailboat folded out of a 6×10mm piece of paper rowing along the lifeline in my palm. Wow I didn’t realize my hand had all these lines :P. I didn’t turn this into a black and white this time because I managed to get a cool light on my hand to make it more waterlike. The flow of life is parrallel to a journey off the land. It begins smooth, then the waves of adulthood brings high tides which we must overcome, However at the end of the ride, everything is smooth again. Ironically the lifeline in my palm depicts this flow; it begins smooth, then there is a big split and begin to ruffle, but towards the end it comes back together again.

About This Group

Still Life Photography begins with a thought or vision in your head. The photographer not only takes the photograph, but completely creates it from the ground up: the background, setting, lighting, composition of the inanimate object, the mood or overall tone of the image.

Most photographers tend to use Still Life as an outlet to experiment with different techniques; to push boundaries, to be more creative and artistic. We are completely creating how we want the viewer to see, to feel, to experience the image, and it is because of this that Still Life normally shows an artist’s distinct personal style and expression.

Most Still Life Photography begins with a controlled environment with adequate lighting conditions to properly convey the image. Thus the majority of Still Life images are created in studios or lightboxes. But this is not always the case. We may happen to stumble upon the perfect opportunity for stills in our everyday lives. But the image must be purposely and skillfully composed to create a specific intended image, otherwise it is just a snapshot and not a Still Life.

Please follow the group rules and most of all…get creative!
