4 Tips for More Creative Still Life Photography

[@jotablen5978]

"Don't be afraid and don't let the lack of equipment be an excuse." I'm back in photography 'cause of you! Thanks a lot.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

You're welcome

[@GarbageKnight]

i have not had the luck, but if you do, you can get some cheap cheap cheap vitange lenses on Ebay, then all you need are some adapters. I have not got lucky becasue now it is known. So now they want too much money for a old vintage lens. I do not have the budget for 300 dollar plus lenses. Until i can sell more pictures. But I had no equipment for a while, I tried using my iphone but it was absolute trash, i could not manually adjust AP, or ISO, and it was best suited for good light, selfies, and instagram BS.

Excellent advice. Confidence building advice. I use candles. which I move closer or away from the subject. Sympols.

[@stevebikes995]

Great content as usual, Karl. The more experience I get shooting, the more I appreciate what you have to say. Conversely, I care less and less for channels with click bate titles and videos that make you feel bad about your gear. Keep up the great work.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Cheers Steve

Love how you explain things. 👍👍

[@VisualEducationStudio]

I appreciate that Cherenjeev !

[@GarbageKnight]

you have given me to most out of your time for how to improve on what I have been doing. Thanks. I am just glad I ditched a horrid camera for one that does not get all my pictures rejected. It was getting annoying sending in 100 pictures of the same thing to only have one accepted because it did not distort everything.

[@dominicwroblewski5832]

Thank you Karl. For the first time in 20 + years I finally heard some one say that the tripod is an important aid to composition. It seems that in this digital age there is less emphasis on the use of the tripod. Using a tripod to aid a composition is just not taught any more.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Yes I'd say it's an essential tool.

[@lifesbeautiful3024]

Great job, Karl, as always. Great ideas

[@itemtester]

Sir, master..thank you for your informations.

[@messylaura]

Another great vid Karl, had an idea for a vid for you, how about a vid on the studio building its self rather than the equipment you put in after the main refit. This might be a good one for people acquiring their own new space. discuss ideas like making one corner having an infinity curve. would having a semi permanent bar system for hanging lights / flags / bounce boards be a good idea or not, or maybe making one area water proof for splash stuff.

Could I ask: where is a good place to buy the kind of mat black super smooth base you use in the lipstick shot?? I’ve been using black foam board but I want something with an even more homogeneous surface. Any tips? Thanks!

I want to be as good a photographer as Karl when I grow up. Never mind that I’m almost 40 already… I’m binging these videos, and all the courses on KTE.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

I took my best pictures after 40.

[@gsommerfeldt]

@@VisualEducationStudio Full speed ahead, preparing to fail so I can learn. :) Sitting here watching courses and liveshow replay after liveshow replay with my notebook. Thanks for an excellent site and resources!

[@AlanSlade]

Good morning mr. Taylor. A photographer from Italy. I'm finding your videos more and more inspirational, as I feel in me a lack of creativity. When it comes to practice, I have some ideas of how I can do a shot, but conceptualizing it it's always a problem. Do you have any suggestion\books\courses to find inspirations? Thanks

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Yes our website is the best place to start. Less expensive than books and far more covered.

Can you give me some more tips about Still Life Fotography

[@9925251alb]

In the lipstick/fish hook shot, the hooks form hearts? What does that mean?

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Hey Andrew, take a good look at the image - karltaylor.com and then let me know what you think it means.

[@9925251alb]

@@VisualEducationStudio I've show the image to seven people. Four said that it seemed cynical, which was my first impression. One said that it wasn't cynical, but rather just realistic. Another said that it is was probably both. Yet another guessed that it was a joke of some kind, but couldn't put her finger on what it is that is supposed to be funny. During our conversation, it was brought up and thought that that lipstick on a collar was a different kind of hook. All of us remembered our mothers' lipstick, and all thought that that made for a totally different kind of hook -- as in a mother always knows which buttons to push because she installed them....

Hello would you consider being interviewed and contribute to a tribute video to matt ballard from art of the image. What I would like to do is a video highlighting some of matts content and having a few people say a few words about him on camera please let me know your thoughts if you would like to contribute I am reaching out to any one who knew him or followed him for many years if you would like to get involved. please get in touch contact me on my channel if your interested regards Paul.

[@ungavaproductions]

Your presentation is good but why don't you show us the set-up in detail for all these amazing pictures that you are showing . Less talking and more studio set-up would help. If you want share and help it could be very useful.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Hi that's all covered in detail on our platform at Visual Education - you can find the link below the video.

[@RedEyrisFilms]

Opposite or same sex. LMAO.

[@00Skyfox]

What’s laughable about that?

[@jacobs.2988]

Bloody hell you might be a good photographer but you could describe it all in your own words instead of reading that's sucks 😕
