Still life photography isn’t any secret. This is why I created this, for you to understand the setup and story behind this image. With a little ingenuity and know-how, you can create a work of art that will help to really capture the attention of the viewer. Using regular shelves along with a plate of black glass I tried to make this scene came to life. Like building blocks, the order of objects changed multiple times before the composition fell into place.

The final image of the perfume
I took around 100 images until I received a final result. The result was an image that incorporated all of the beautiful textures of the gold lettering and the bold dark shadow on the perfume. By composing the still life this way, I added some interest and shape to the entirety of the scene.
