Still life photography involves inanimate objects, and is one of the oldest types of photography. In the early days of photography, exposures were long and early pioneers often shot still life, as there was nothing to keep still! Today, still life photography is a popular specialism for many photographers, with the need for product shots for multitudes of different companies. In this article, we’ll look at how to master still life photography and the tips and tricks needed for successful shots. THE SUBJECT All still life photography starts with the object you’re photographing. As the photographer, your job is to make that object look visually appealing to a viewer. How are you going to tell a story with this object? Look for a feature that’s interesting – maybe it’s the…

Alright, I’ll admit it: when I first started learning about the Pixelstick, I didn’t really understand what it did. I got that it had something to do with light, obviously, because everything related to photography is based on light in some way. And I also saw some really cool images on the Pixelstick website. But I still had no idea how a 6-foot aluminum tube was able to make such great images, other than some vague notion that it was like the next generation of light painting. Personally, I don’t have a ton of experience with night photography, and I have almost no experience with light painting. The only time I can remember that I tried to do light painting was when I attempted to use the flashlight on my…

About the Author: Howdy! I’m Josh Cripps, head photo nerd here at Pro Photo Tips. I discovered nature photography in late 2006 and was instantly and irreversibly hooked. Somewhere along the way I discovered that I love teaching other photographers all the little tips, tricks, and chunks of knowledge I’ve learned over the years. And while I do love teaching workshops, in 2014 I decided I wanted to reach more photographers, and to help photographers around the world improve their skills. I recorded a few videos for YouTube and before I knew it they were surging in popularity and people were clamoring for more! It was clear there was a huge need in the world for simple, well-thought out photography tips, and voila! Pro Photo Tips was born.…

In this video, you’ll learn exactly how to go about creating beams of light in Photoshop. WORKING WITH LAYERS The key to getting a beam of light to look realistic is using multiple layers while creating it. A beam of light will be most intense in the center of the beam, so by making three different curves layers that get smaller and smaller it gives the light a sense of depth. It’s also important to apply a gaussian blur to the layer masks so the light doesn’t look unreasonably hard edged. ADDING FOG The second part to making the beam of light believable is adding fog to the image. The only way a beam of light can really be visible is if there are many small particles in the air…

Shooting splashes is always great fun, even if it’s a simple image with a coffee cup and a falling piece of refined sugar. Plus, there is always so much room for experimentation—in other words, for even more fun! When I made the “Empty Cup” image, many people asked me how I shot it. And I thought it would be better to show you in a step-by-step breakdown rather than answer individual questions. So, this is how: 1. PROPS First of all you will need a solid background (paper or set of boards only will make things more complicated; I used a sheet of painted plywood), a large syringe without needle, glue gun, reliable double sided tape and any components of your still life that you like. Besides that, as for…

Explore southern New Zealand in a journey from the dry highlands of Canterbury to the lush rainforests of the west coast and the rugged coastlines of the south to the highest peaks of the southern Alps. Captured in incredibly detailed 8K resolution and mastered at 60fps this video aims to bring you as close to the scenery as being on location. With a production time of 16 weeks, 185,000 photos were taken, 8TB of raw-material was shot, over 220 hours of time was captured, 8000km were driven, and over 1000 hours were spent on post-production! BEHIND THE SCENES: MARTIN HECKS’ “NEW ZEALAND ASCENDING 8K TIMELAPSE” Capturing high resolution timelapse visuals in some of the most remote places of New Zealand came with a lot of challenges for men and equipment.…

Pixelstick reads images created in Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) and displays them one line at a time, creating endless possibilities for abstract and/or photorealistic art. Taking this one step further, Pixelstick can increment through a series of images over multiple exposures, opening up light painting to the world of timelapse, and allowing for animations of a scope and quality never before seen. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bitbanger Labs is a small Brooklyn-based maker group that focuses on creating niche technology that inspires. First conceived in 2010 by founders Duncan Frazier and Stephen McGuigan, BBL has since designed and launched its first two products - the Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask and the revolutionary photography product, pixelstick. Both were launched through highly successful Kickstarter campaigns.…
