Still life photography is a genre of photography used for the depiction of inanimate subject matter, typically a small group of objects. It is the application of photography to the still life artistic style. An example is food photography. This genre gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition compared to other photographic genres, such as landscape or portrait photography.

Lighting and framing are important aspects of still life photography composition. Learn the basics of using artificial and natural lighting, setting up subject and composition techniques.
