Still life фотография что это

Обновлено: 02.07.2024

Still life photography is one of the longest enduring genres of the medium. Learn the secrets of keeping this style vibrant and modern with these tips from ten experienced still life photographers.

The still life is one of the oldest photographic genres in existence. It was a natural choice for early photographers in the 19th century, who took many of their cues from painting and who were often limited to stationary objects by long exposure times. But while photographic still lifes have endured throughout the last century and a half, they’ve also changed drastically.

Consider, for instance, the somber black and white photographs of André Kertész in the 1920s, then skip forward to William Eggleston and his colorful, vernacular stills in the 1970s. From there, move towards Martin Parr, who, in the 1990s, photographed objects with a bold and dizzying flash. Finally, a quick trip through the Instagram archives will reveal this generation’s obsession with minimal, pastel arrangements. These works of art are as distant from one another as night and day, and yet they all belong in the same genre. They’re all still lifes.

What’s the story behind this photo?

I had beautiful sunflowers and a beautiful vintage milk jug, and I wanted to add a few pumpkins to make an autumnal still life. But then my cat jumped onto the table and just made himself comfortable next to the flowers. I thought, “What should I do?” I just took the picture, and everything worked together perfectly. By the way, my cats do this often.

What tips would you give to other photographers who want to create modern still lifes?

One should pay particular attention to light and colors. The objects should be unified and connected to one another. Let your imagination run wild. Think about what you want to say and what is important for you as a photographer, whether it’s colors, shapes, content, or light.

What’s the story behind this photo?

The idea for this photo came into my mind when I thought about “night owls,” or people who tend to stay up late. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and it helps people stay fresh and awake. Conceptual and creative ideas always come first in my work. You can follow me on Instagram for more.

What tips would you give to other photographers who want to create modern still lifes?

I actually don’t use any tricks, and I always use just one light source. I think the main thing is being creative. Creativity is the foundation of still life photography. Always think of a concept first, and try to find the best and the simplest way to illustrate it. Color can be part of the concept and create the atmosphere of the whole composition. Use your imagination; it is limitless.

What’s the story behind this photo?

I took this picture to illustrate a makeup concept. The idea was to show cosmetics in a colorful, bright, and positive way. With cosmetics, my imagination is free to build any composition I want. I can build backgrounds, frames, or borders using diagonal, horizontal, and vertical lines.

What tips would you give to other photographers who want to create modern still lifes?

You have to practice your skills all the time. Use your camera in everyday life. Train yourself to see compositions and color schemes. Visit museums and exhibitions to train your vision. Remember that photography is art, but you also have to think about commercial productivity. Think fast, build compositions fast, edit fast, upload fast, and you will see results fast.

Laviart (Lasma Vitolina)

What’s the story behind this photo?

This was the first floral mandala I ever made after a plant hunt around my neighborhood in Malta. I quite liked the process and the outcome, so I kept making them. Each mandala design is unique and original, depending on what natural materials I have gathered that day. Once a mandala is complete, I document it in a photograph, thus capturing the fleeting beauty of the moment.

What’s the story behind this photo?

In this shot, I wanted to show the usual pineapple and coconut in a non-standard, creative, and bright color scheme. I added green leaves to the coconut to make it fun. I picked up sunlight with sharp shadows and a yellow background to simulate a warm summer mood. By enhancing the colors, I added a pop art style in post-processing.

What tips would you give to other photographers who want to create modern still lifes?

In order to create something fresh and interesting, you need to know what people want and do the opposite. This is a joke, but very often, it brings unexpected solutions that become popular. Find kind and creative friends. Accumulate items that will come in handy in the future. Try to use simple but stylish items. Experiment a lot.

Try to combine the creative idea with the composition, and reinforce it with an interesting lighting scheme. Work in different directions and styles to expand your creative space. Do not forget to rest and relax to clear your mind and look at your work with fresh eyes.

What’s the story behind this photo?

I made this photo for the autumn season. Warm colors and low contrast make the picture look cozy. The object selection (red leaves, a blanket, etc.) helps to create that autumn atmosphere.

What’s the story behind this photo?

Not one season passes without my shooting a still life with sunflowers.

What tips would you give to other photographers who want to create modern still lifes?

Look at life through the lens. If light, colors, or shapes give you the impetus to create, don’t pass up that opportunity. Draw inspiration from nature and from painters like Rembrandt. I rarely use artificial light. I try to use natural light every time. And last but not least, remember your tripod. It’s a necessary accessory for still life photography.

What’s the story behind this photo?

I noticed festive still life images were in-demand, but not many were shot in a trendy way. Therefore this idea came about: I took a traditional subject (the Mid-Autumn Festival) and added a modern, trendy touch and a fresh point of view.

Still life Ирвинга Пенна. Натюрморт как творческая свобода

Что такое натюрморт? Этот жанр отличается своим образным языком, «словами» в котором являются повседневные вещи, окружающие нас повсюду. Получится ли сложенная из них «фраза» звучной и изысканной, или так и останется разрозненными зависит от мастерства создающего натюрморт художника или фотографа. Поговорим о том, у кого такого мастерства было фотографе Ирвинге Пенне.

Ирвинг Пенн (Irving Penn) был известным фотографом моды. В его работах композиционная ясность соперничала с бескрайней элегантностью. Он фотографировал самых красивых женщин мира, был богат и известен, его снимки печатали все крупнейшие модные журналы. Но в душе мастера не было гармонии и спокойствия: те фотографии, что по-настоящему воплощали его творческие порывы, журналы печатать отказывались, говоря, что для глянца они «слишком сильные». Ирвинг Пенн нашел выход: днем он был звездой модного небосклона; по ночам в своей студии и погружался в то, в чем чувствовал полную свободу натюрмортов.

Примечание. Характерно, что взлет карьеры будущей легенды модной и портретной фотографии начался именно с в 1947 году в журнале Vogue работы Пенна «Сумочка. Случай в театре» (The Spilled Accident).

Каждый человек видит в фотографии что-то свое, близкое ему. Для Ирвинга Пенна натюрморты стали чем-то большим, нежели простым изучением предметов, которые он снимал. Чувства, эмоции были определяющим фактором в его работах. Пенн провел масштабное исследование жанра натюрморта, раздвигая границы восприятия, и плодами этой серьезной работы стали фотографии, от которых у зрителя до сих пор захватывает дух.

Им был создан новый тип натюрморта, отличный от классической традиции. Ирвинг Пенн эстетизировал то, что ранее вообще никто не мог даже представить в качестве основы для произведения искусства. Для своих композиций он мог собирать окурки, старые предметы, выброшенные кем-то очень давно, откапывал кости, зарытые его в закрытой студии, творил из них странные объекты, скульптуры, инсталляции. Это был отдых, расслабление и полная свобода. Уникальное чувство визуального ритма позволяло ему разглядеть красоту в чем-то окурках, фотография которых стала его визитной карточкой.

Ирвинг Пенн был известен любовью к сочетанию причудливых форм предметов, в объединении которых начинала сквозить новая идея. Малейшие изобразительные нюансы в его работах отражают философию окружающего мира. Такова фотография «Хлеб, соль и вода» (Bread, Salt and Water): песчаная текстура соли, зернистая вязкость хлеба и бокал с водой прозрачной чистоты находятся во взаимодействии друг с другом, они перекликаются, будучи объединенными в единую композицию. «Пейзаж из костей» (Bone Landscape), запчасти от снимках мастер виртуозно показывал скрытую от обывательского взгляда жизнь неодушевленных предметов.

Неповторимая гармония глубины цвета его восхищения и зависти всех профессиональных фотографов. На глубокое изучение цвета и колористики мастер потратил семь лет. Результатом работы явился фотоальбом «Цветы» (Flowers). Перед его дебютным показом в Галерее Мальборо Пенн отметил: «Зритель вправе ожидать от автора подобных работ специальных познаний в садоводстве, однако могу вас уверить, что их у меня нет. Признаюсь, я даже наслаждаюсь этим невежеством, оно дает мне свободу получать удовольствие от простого созерцания и изучения формы и цвета».

Мастер любил комкать и сминать изображаемые предметы. По его мнению, это позволяло подчеркнуть на фотографиях их текстуру. Данный прием стал излюбленным у даже привнес его в фотосъемку людей.

Свежий взгляд на суть жанра, нестандартное видение художника обратили на себя пристальное внимание самых взыскательных критиков. В конце концов глянец тоже стал заказывать у Пенна его странные и прекрасные натюрморты. Параллельно мастер продолжал экспериментировать с личными творческими проектами, в которых он обыгрывал традиционные черно-белые композиции с черепами, рыбами, художественными кистями и игральными костями.

В 2001 году Ирвинг Пенн собрал свои любимые натюрморты в альбоме Still Life, увидевшем свет в 2001 году. В книгу вошло 98 фотографий (45 цветных снимков, и три монохромных).

Ирвинг Пенн был непревзойденным мастером фотографии. В каком бы жанре он не всегда были технически идеальны. В случае с натюрмортом фотохудожник постоянно расширял границы восприятия, находил новые подходы к изображению обычных, на первый взгляд, цветов или фруктов. Очень мало фотографов действительно серьезно изучают этот вид работы не только воплощают новые идеи, но и заставляют всмотреться и задуматься. Духом и оригинальностью своих натюрмортов Ирвинг Пенн совершил переворот в мире искусства, поставив предметную фотосъемку в один ряд с высокой живописью.

Is this meditation?

Stillness is a meditative state of mind. People have very different definitions of “meditation,” so we like to be clear that a Still mind is a completely clear mind with no thoughts of past or future – what people really mean when they say the present moment. You can find Stillness through meditation just as you can watching a beautiful sunset.

What if I get distracted?

First off, congratulations! The mind can be sneaky and catching it in the act is not always easy. This is completely normal, remember that if you let it affect your state of mind, you’re getting further away from Stillness. So be forgiving to yourself and let your thoughts know that you’ll come back to them when you’re done Getting Still.

When should I use the App?

Whenever it suits you! The app is designed to become a part of your routine.

How can I partner with Still Life?

Where should I use the App?

Try to find somewhere quiet and peaceful, a place that makes you feel safe and comfortable. However, just as you can be in a great mood really anywhere, you can also be Still anywhere. It’s always there if you need it!

How do I cancel my subscription?

1. Open the Settings app
2. Tap on your name
3. Tap “Subscriptions”
4. Select the subscription you want to cancel
5. Tap “Cancel Subscription” to disable it from auto-renewing at the end of the current billing cycle

3. At the top right, tap the profile icon.
4. Tap Payments & subscriptions and then Subscriptions.
5. Select the subscription you want to cancel.
6. Tap Cancel subscription.
7. Follow the instructions.

How long does it take to see results?

If you’re very aware of yourself, you should feel a shift in your state of mind after Getting Still for the first time! However, the more you do it, the better it gets and the stronger the effects. You should start seeing more dramatic changes within the first few weeks but sometimes it’s hard to see yourself so perhaps ask someone you spend a lot of time with if they’ve noticed anything. If you want to see the benefits of Stillness more quickly (reduction of tension, worry, stress, anxiety, etc.) then try setting an ambitious weekly goal for yourself.

How much does it cost?

We offer two subscription options for the app:
– $9.99 / monthly
– $59.99 / annually

What people
are saying.

After just one Stillness session, I left with a clear and focused mind that I can not only translate into my professional career, but all aspects of my life.
