10a) Still Life

Here are two images from a painter called Audrey Flack. She has used objects arranged in a classic "still-life" setup. The first image depicts Marilyn Monroe. Look closely at the objects and try and interpret their significance.

The second painting shows Audrey Flack's personal connection with paint.

Start thinking about objects you can bring in that you will photograph as a form of still life/symbolic self-portrait.

Requirements:

1. On schoology discussion; write 8 - 10 items that you can bring and why they are important to you - Flat objects are no good.

2. Photograph your subjects in a variety of arrangements on the fabric background. 

3. Shoot with overhead lights and standing lamps together, and separately.

4. Try different aperture settings and shutter speeds.
