Still Life Photography Immogen Cunningham Agave Design 1, 1920s
Still Life Photography Immogen Cunningham Starting in the 1920s, she began making sharply focused, close up studies of plant life and unconventional views of industrial structures and modern architecture. Concerned with light, form, and abstract pattern, these photographs established her as one of the pioneers of modernist photography on the West Coast.

Still Life Photography Laura Letinsky The still life genre is unavoidably a commentary on society s material-mindedness and the way images promote a kind of promise of attainability. I am not interested though in the allure of the meal that awaits an unseen viewer s consumption. Instead, I photograph the remains of meals and its refuse so as to investigate the relationships between ripeness and decay, delicacy and awkwardness, control and haphazardness, waste and plenitude, pleasure and sustenance. Throughout my long-term photographic practice I wish to engage the photograph s transformative qualities, changing what is typically overlooked into something splendid in its resilience. I want to look at what is after the fact, at what (ma)lingers, at what persists, and by inference, at what is gone.

Still Life Photography Edward Weston it strikes me that what he actually did, more often than not, was make the commonplace wondrous and beautiful. In Weston's still lives, for instance, the tonal quality of his black-and-white prints imbue everyday objects, both natural and man-made, with a heightened presence that sometimes makes them seem almost unreal. In his journals, he wrote that his aim was to render "the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh".

Still Life Photography Ori Gherst Pomegranate, 2006 Using extremely high-speed cameras, Ori Gersht has recreated in the film Pomegranate a Renaissance like still life composition. Whereas such paintings attempted to preserve motionless moments frozen in time, Gersht s compositions are obstructed by fast and violent intervention. In Pomegranate , a film that references Juan Sanchez Cotan s 17th century still life and Harold Edgerton s stroboscopic photography, a high velocity bullet flies across the frame in slow motion and obliterates a suspended pomegranate, bursts it into open and wheels it slowly in the air like a smashed violated mouth spraying seeds. This peaceful image transform into blood shade. In doing so the film establishes a dialogue between stillness and motion, peace and violence.

Still Life Photography Irving Penn Cigarette 17 New York, 1972
Still Life Photography Cigarette Butts and Sidewalk Debris Not surprisingly, he concentrated on producing photographs intended to be viewed as art. In 1975 the Museum of Modern Art presented a small exhibition of his recent work printed using the platinum process: a series of greatly magnified images of cigarette butts, transformed from gutter discards to near landmark status, and showing Mr. Penn s penchant for straying far from the politesse of his fashion and portrait pictures. The cigarette butts were followed by a series focused on other forms of sidewalk debris, Irving Penn, Fashion Photographer, Is Dead at 92. New York Times ANDY GRUNDBERGPublished: October 8, 2009

Still Life Photography Macro lens Macro photography is close-up photography of usually very small subjects. A macro lens literally opens up a whole new world of photographic subject matter. It can even cause one to think differently about everyday objects. However, despite these exciting possibilities http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials /macro-lenses.htm
