Still Life - A Discussion Today we tackled the issue of still life photography...first with a definition Still life photography is a genre of photography used for the depiction of inanimate subject matter, typically a small group of objects. It is the application of photography to the still life artistic style. An arrangement of objects or single object Then we added some caveats ... Inanimate means not alive, especially not in the manner of animals and humans. We contrasted found vs created still life We then talked of the necessity of juxtaposition Putting bounds on the photographers vision In the end, we agreed it was easy to identify "still life" photographs using the adage "you know it when you see it"...and with that we reviewed the images brought to the meeting today. Trying my best as curator and interpreter of the definition, I am presenting one image from all who contributed to the meeting Below are two links
