I used this for a still life subject because a lot of people use bowls of fruit for a still life. We always have this bowl of giant fake fruit in our dinning room so it was the first thing I though of when thinking of what to do for my still life.
The candles and octopus was one of the most fun to take pictures of. I liked placing the smaller candles around the main octopus candle holder. The photo with the glowing edges is one of my favorite pictures out of all the still lifes.
The colored pencils was my favorite to place for the still life. Placing them all around the pencil holder was fun and I also took pictures of the reflection of the colored pencils.
For these still lifes I took some of my old dinosaur toys and took them outside. I used rocks in my backyard to photograph them on.
For these I used light coming through my window to take pictures of some of my books. I did this early in the morning so the lighting was changing as I took the photos.
