Still Life #1: flowers
I wanted to use flowers for a still life because I thought a still life with flowers always looked nice when looking online. I used the flowers my mom got from working at her office for a year. Most of the flowers were dead so I thought it'd look cool to set them up as a still life. I used the different flowers and set them together in different patterns to see which looked best. The photo with the dead roses I thought looked really cool with that filter, roses are also my favorite flower.
Still Life #2: candles
I chose these candles because I thought they could make a cool picture for a still life. I liked how the colors of the two candles contrasted each other. I set up the candles in different positions to see which looked best. I thought the neon glow filter looked creepy but I did like how it looked when it was purple.
Still Life #3: changing tires
When I came home from school the other day, my brother was changing his tires. I thought this would be perfect for a still life. I told him to get up so I could take some pictures. I left everything how it was and started taking photos. I moved to different angles to get different views of the scene.
Still Life #4: Troye Sivan
When learning about still lifes, I remembered learning they were collections. I thought of probably my biggest collection, which was all of my Troye Sivan merch. I took (some) of the merch I own from Troye, and set it up next to the window. Troye Sivan is my all time favorite artist and he means so much to me. I've seen him in concert three times and they all were some of the best moments of my life.
Still Life #5: shoes
I decided to take pictures of shoes because they're another thing I have a lot of. I took some of my favorites and set them up together. I rearranged them in different ways to get different pictures of them. I also moved to different angles, such as from above or from the side. I liked how these pictures turned out but when using filters, I didn't see much of a difference for most of them.
