We will have also have several “blank” workspace with lots of props and lights where you can create your own still life.  You can even bring an item (like a keepsake) from home and set up your own creative still life.


What to bring:


Your camera with a lens like a 50mm prime lens, or a zoom lens that includes the 50mm focal length (like a 24-70mm). If you have one, a macro lens would also be fun to try.  A tripod is recommended.  


Smartphone cameras can also work very well on the still lifes that use natural or continuous lighting. So if you only have a smartphone, don’t be shy and come join us!

  • The basics of how to set up a still life for best results.

  • Product photography

  • Flat Lays

  • Stylized photos

  • Different types of backgrounds and where to get them.

  • The kind of props that work well in a still life.

  • Many fun tips and tricks for making creative still lifes.

  • The importance of lighting in creating still lifes, and how to shape and control light.

  • Natural vs. continuous vs. strobes

  • Cross-Lighting

  • Use of fill cards and flags
