Still Life Photography

Still Life Photography

Harold Edgerton

Harold edgerton is well known in photography for his use of "speedlight" to stop motion on film. His images have a surreal effect in that he merely freezes time in a photograph. I like his work because i think he likes to show people photos of things that do not appear to the human eye because it is too fast. For e.g. the photo above shows cranberry juice dropping into milk. Not many people would think to do a photo like this but just a simple idea like this can be more effective than complicated ideas.






Lynn Brown 

Lynn Brown likes to create stores in her still life photography. Each photo with a different story or meaning behind it. This photo illustrates the new life that has to be forged by those left behind after someone dies. The damp cards signify the support of friends, and the many tears shed. I like her work because it shows that a simple idea that has been thought out can create a story of someones past or the story of life as this photo does.
