For my still life photos in class I chose to photograph a typewriter. I placed the typewriter by itself in order to keep focus on the typewriter and to not clutter the photograph. I only turned on one studio light on the right side of the typewriter. The shadows were cast on the left side of the typewriter.
Out of Class
My "found" still life was located on the table in my dining room. For the second picture I arranged the dolls in a way where I hoped to get a sense of depth of field even though I was photographing on my phone. Unfortunately the only lighting I had was the ceiling light and some light from the windows.There aren't any shadows however there are reflections in the wood.
