What You Will Learn?

  • Hand in the frame still life photography has been a fascination of mine for a few years now. It is a great way to dip your toes into doing self-portraits without putting your whole body into the frame. It still falls within the still life category for me since I am usually using my hands and props to tell a story. Whether it be a food story where I'm picking up a muffin or a historical story where I'm holding an old letter with some pretty ruffled sleeves on my arms. You can get really creative in the stories you tell adding in a human element. .
