What You Will Learn?

  • Using books to create still life setups has become a new passion. I love the thought of illustrating passages with our photography setups. Just like an illustrator adds some drawings though out the book to invoke your imagination, I want to use photos to do the same thing. I want to be so inspired by a passage that I recreate what I saw in my mind when I read it. Or if I am using a less descriptive book - I want to use a time period to create what I think a scene looks like when you read it. It is taking your storytelling skills to a new level and creating a deeper story behind the stories you build with your photos..
  • In this class we'll cover:.
  • This course is a great class for leveling up your storytelling skills by illustrating a story with your photography setup..
  • Required Gear: A camera. You can do still life photography with any camera you have. A few props to tell your story, a book or passage that inspired your setup..
