I bought some beautiful ripe red strawberries to eat as a snack. However, because they were so pretty, I decided to line them up and take pictures. I decided to photograph them in my studio using strobe lighting, on a black table, against a black backdrop.
Green Apples and Orange Lily
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.
Green Candles and Limes
I placed a collection of fresh green limes inside a martini glass. A lit green candle and a green apple accompany the arrangement, creating a harmonious composition.
Pink Lilies and Limes
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.
Pink Lilies and Apples
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.
Pumpkins and Yellow Lilies
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.
Oranges and Lilies
I placed some mandarin oranges into a goblet. I added some gorgeous orange lilies into a blue glass vase. I placed a terracotta pot on the side for a rustic touch. I photographed this against a white backdrop and added textures to give this photo a painted look.
Golden Light on Tree Trunk
In the early morning I pass this tree on the way out of my community. On a sunny day, the sun just illuminates the tree, making it look almost two dimensional–but only in the morning. By the afternoon, it is just the one shade. I decided to capture this beautiful transformation one day, waking up early just to get the light just right. It is amazing the things you see by paying attention. This composition captures the serene beauty of a natural landscape.
Pink Flowers and Bosc Pears on Black
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.
Yellow Lilies and Pears
A vibrant yellow lily stands elegantly in a glass vase beside a martini glass holding a pear, with two more pears placed on a soft green cloth. The muted background enhances the natural colors and simple beauty of the arrangement.
