1. Use an simple backdrop: Wrinkles and
ridges in a still life photograph – unless a part of the setting –
will be distracting to your main subject. Be aware about keeping your
backdrops smooth and simple.
2. Make your lighting contrast :
Whether you are using strobes, speed-lights, or LED’s, it’s
important that your “ratio” from one light to the next is varied.
3. Light directions: Side light is
always most effective for bringing out texture and creating dynamic
variation between the highlights and shadows. Whether rings, or
floral, side light will enable you to give dimension and depth to
your still life imagery.
4. Experiment with your angles: Two
things to think about when faced with a studio lighting scenario. a).
The position of the lights to your subject and b). the position of
your subject to the camera. Don’t be afraid to experiment and
change up angles. A photo is most interesting when you give a new
perspective to something that is ordinary.
5. Light for shape: We see life in 3 dimensional . Lighting for shape will be most emphasized by side
light, when your highlights spread along the edge of your subject and
add that 3rd dimension.
