Two white chrysanthemums are showcased against a black background, highlighting their delicate petals and radiant appearance. The lighting accentuates the intricate details of each bloom and the contrast between the green and white petals.

I was looking through my various vases to use for a still life and came upon a lovely little blue pitcher that I had forgotten about. I added white daisies and paired this with a woven brown basket filled with green apples spilling out. Next I added a beautiful round gold vase to offset the blue in the little jug. For the background, I added a soft bluish overlay texture. It has an overall peaceful and serene feel.

I wanted to create a composition using pears. I found beautiful purple lilies and added them to a green glass vase. I placed a green lit candle on a wrought iron stand beside the lilies. I added a clay pot and lastly two yellow pears. I completed the scene by adding a beautiful blue background giving this arrangement a harmonious visual with soft lighting and earthy tones.
I had some gorgeous orange lilies that I had used in another image. I created two images, one against a black backdrop, and the other against a white backdrop. Both were created in my studio with strobe lighting. It is so amazing how different they both are, yet so similar. The colored version was achieved by adding a complementary colored texture in post-processing to bring out the beauty of this lovely arrangement.

In creating this still life, I wanted to use beautiful contrasting colors to bring out the green of the limes, and the vase. I added the pink lilies to the glass vase, and placed the limes into the goblet one by one. I added a black and white ceramic jug along with a black chess piece. This beautiful arrangement was placed on a green and white cloth. To complete the theme, I created a bluish, green texture for the background.

I wanted to create a rustic composition that had both warmth and elegance. I assembled a pretty glass red vase and added pink lilies. I matched the red vase with a lit red candle on a pewter holder. I added red apples spilling out of a wicker basket. I then arranged these gorgeous elements on a green cloth for contrast. I added a complementary texture to highlight the beauty of this composition.

It is Fall and what says Fall other than orange pumpkins. I placed mini pumpkins into a martini glass, and added a green wax candle with flame. Yellow lilies in a green glass vase completed the basic composition. I then added a light blue texture for the background, which creates a warm and cozy scene.

I decided to create an image depicting the beautiful autumn colors of Halloween. I also decided to add some spookiness to this gorgeous scene by using some skulls. Nothing says Halloween like scary skulls. Of course I had to include a lovely little orange pumpkin. Orange lilies, and a thick orange lit candle all captured against a black backdrop depict the magic of Halloween.

I always love a still life photographed against a black backdrop. I find the stark contrast between the bright, beautiful elements of the pink flowers, green candle, brown Bosc pears, and orange ceramic vase creates a gorgeous and amazing composition. The black table creates the lovely reflections which add to the overall beauty of this image.
