- A still life is commonly objects which may be either natural (food,
flowers,plants,rocks or shells) or man - made (drinking glasses,books,vases,jewelry,coins,pipes and so on). With origins in the Middle Ages and Ancient Greek/Roman art, still life paintings give the artist more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition than do paintings of other types of subjects such as landscapes and portraiture.
MARTIN PARR
This was the example given to us on the blog and i have taken a photo similar to this. I wanted something yummy and colourful to photograph! I like the bright colours in the background and on the cake, it makes the image very crazy and interesting. This is a very simple photo as it's just a cake placed on a menu but it works effectively due to the bright colours. One selection of things he photographs is British food from doughnuts to sausages all following colour as a pattern.
This is the photo i took following the same theme as Martin Parr's. I have picked out a smaller aspect of colour in my image so there's a slight difference between them so i haven't done exactly the same photo. I went to the market and found a small cupcake stall and all the cakes were homemade and looked delicious! When being asked to photograph food i automatically think of cakes,sweets and chocolate as you can get some really colourful looking images!!
