I love adding flowers to my Still Lifes. I decided to get some purple daisies, pink poms, and pink lilies. I added in some unusual props such as a skull that I picked up for Halloween. As usual, fruit plays a big part of the picture and the green apple blends well with the green part of the daisies.
White Daisies Still Lifes
I had some beautiful white daisies that I used to do some Still Lifes. Previously I had sculpted a head out of clay and thought it would make for an unusual addition to these photos. I also added some green apples, and a red candle complete with smoke. I think white flowers always look lovely on a black background. So, here are my latest Still Lifes which are somewhat different than my usual images. I enjoyed working on these and I hope you enjoy them too.
Mixed Still Lifes – Hats, Flowers, Chest, and Fruit
These are Mixed Still Lifes using hats, flowers, small treasure chest, books, trays, and even a bible. I took these on different days but decided to combine them into one post. It is very eclectic, but I think they fit into one post very well. Some I used a black background and some were taken against a white backdrop and I added a texture to give it color.
Peruvian Lilies and Fruit Still Lifes
I did some Still Lifes of Peruvian Lilies (aka Alstroemeria)–orange and yellow. I photographed these gorgeous flowers using many different backgrounds and vases; some using textures taken against a white background and some against a black backdrop. I used oranges, pears, and grapes. The photos are similar but different. I love the textures but also the ones with the black background–it is a matter of personal preference. They would look beautiful hanging on anyone’s wall, especially on a canvas. Any of these can be converted to a canvas. Enjoy!
