Still life photo captures inanimate, everyday object, such as fruits, flowers, books, vases, or tools. These subjects are arranged intentionally to create a visually compelling composition that elevates the ordinary into art. Photographers meticulously control lighting, often using soft natural window light or artificial setups to sculpt shadows, highlights, and depth, while composing elements with careful balance, negative space, and angles to evoke mood, symbolism, or narrative, like themes of transience in vanitas styles. This genre allows full creative freedom, transforming static subjects into serene, dramatic, or abstract scenes through styling and post-processing.
