The task
For this task, you’ll create a still-life image with a strong artistic style of a small collection of items. The items must have a common theme or symbolic meaning.
The final image will be used in a poster for an art exhibition in your hometown called: 17th century Stilleven.
You can use window light, artificial light, or a combination of the two.
TIP
A still life image is considered a success if it successfully conveys the narrative or photographer’s message AND if the composition is strong and guides the viewer’s eye through the image.
Add a short description where you elaborate on the theme or symbolic meaning and your intentional placement of objects to create the desired composition.
Be creative and have fun!
For this task, I chose to make a forest-themed composition. The main object is the bird and the rest of the props represent the forest it lives in. Since this bird hunts mainly at night I wanted to represent this with the candles and the dark and moody feel. I used a window and artificial light on the left side and a reflector on the right to balance the light a little. There is also light coming from the candles.
Result:
And here is a more natural version without the candles:
