A Still Life by definition is a visual composition created by the artist and made up of traditionally inanimate objects arranged to explore elements of composition such as style, color, spacial relationships, contrast, light, shadow and other visual concepts. Still Life composition goes back to the early days of painting. Until Leonardo da Vinci subjects often consisted of religious and other metaphoric objects.
The still life has always been a key tool for experimentation and development for the artist and photography adopted this tradition as well. Still Life Photography has its roots all the way back to Henry Fox Talbot, on of the fathers of photography, in his still life experimentations with photograms and composed pictures of objects found at Lacock Abbey.
I liked this episode much more than I thought I was going to. Still life is something I've never tried, and I'm already full of ideas. I also appreciate the photographer's profiled. I think I'll be getting some of their books soon. Love the show!
Andreas Feininger work on sea shells inspires me the most.. The way he has brought those back into life is simply amazing and thought evoking..
hey mr ted forbes, i really appreciate your videos and the composition website as well. you are among a very few people who talk about the content of photography rather than technical stuff.
I really like your descriptions of the aesthetics of photography. You're good at what you do.
Hi Ted, awsome job as always, been your fan for quite some time now. I am doing some still life study myself pretty much in digital and i was wondering if you could explain how Joel Peter Witkin gets the final result, is it digital or some kind of hybrid process? Thank you and please keep up this amazing work.
Time for books-love those...I think I will have my hand at that over the next week and share what comes. thank you Ted!
another brilliant video. Thank you Ted for everything you've done. You're a wonderful and effective teacher.
Very good video, I enjoyed it, but I wish you would have talked a little bit more on the techniques you can use to do this work. How to do the lighting, what settings etc... You could have talked about how you think Edward Weston did his cabbage photo, what techniques he applied.
Other than that, I learned a lot!
Awesome stuff as usual. Thanks, Ted!!
Joel-Peter Witkin -- very morbid, and I can't say that I ever "liked" him, but he is haunting and hard to dismiss.
Also don't confuse still life photography with photograms, although they can contain similar objects they are not still life photographs. Photograms are example of camera-less alchemy and are created due to an interest in creating photographic art without a camera.
love your show, keep them coming!! :)
Excellent as usual!!
Amazing! Very inspiring! Loved Tom Baril's work! Definitely gonna check it further.
Fantastic!.....More.. please.
Great video!
Thanks Sean…
20:15 JPWitkin is beyond heavy metal; he is Death Metal. :)

Not sure if you mentioned her, but Imogene Cunningham created amazing still lifes many decades before Baril or Mapplethorpe portrayed similar subject matter, such as callas. Irving Penn has to be one of the top still life photographers of all time.
Great video! It really helps explain how still life works. The only problem with this video is the amount of talking this guy does. Its like he's trying to drag out each sentence as long as humanly possible. Just cut to the chase, figure out what you want to say dude!
Great stuff!!!!
Came back to this video after the most recent photo assignment
Excellent video! Thanks! I tried to do some Still Life with my Holga, I had interesting results. Thanks!
Hi Ted, I can't understand why the books images can be classified as still life. Can you explain that to me? By the way, thank you very much to put the effort and the time to share so much knowledge.
Most superficial knowledge ever.
Cmoon guys, like the video if you watch it...
You still can be a hipster later on if you want to...
need to rename this channel 'Content Rich'.....
I thibk you have mentioned once about that guy who was photographin from garbedge can from street he called Pen something i want ihis full name please if u can help i do appreciate thanks
Canibalisme is a crime. And some of the images of the artiste I don't care about the name, sugest that the head as just been severed due to the blood. So that is another crime xalled murder. To put them with fruits on a table and such suggest a level a normalisation of abominations. To purchase such "art" or promote it is an effort dragging every single species on Earth away from civiluzation back down into barbarisme some more.
"basicly" "you know" I know it was long time ago but its sooo annoying.
before u commented this i didn't notice but now...
Wow, you talk fast! A bit hard to keep up.
Inspiring. Thank you.
This is amazing, thank you!
love your commentary, thanks for tying in photography with art and art history ~ love it =)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loved this episode, still life is much oh what I do because it doesn’t require me interacting or trying to please anyone except myself.
After watching this I had a bit of an education in Joel-Peter-Witkin's work. I'm not sure I can thank you for that, lol.
Great video though, you really don't see content of this style and quality anywhere else, very much appreciated.
Hahahaha🤣
Calle lillies without Imogen are truly still lifes. :)
Love this and thank you
i love you! Tks amazing video.
Thank you !!!!!!💕
