A few days ago I was looking at a whole day to myself! The first since … well, I don’t remember when. It’s been weeks! So, among other things, I decided to do some still life photography. I scrolled through some screenshots I had taken of other inspiring images to get my creative juices going and tried a set up similar to some I love on Instagram … but it just wasn’t working.
I went ahead and edited one of the photos because sometimes I like them better once I’ve done that, but still wasn’t thrilled with it. So, I started to look around … all of a sudden I had an idea.
I grabbed everything cream colored, wooded, metal and wirey piece I could find … well, not everything … but lots!
The inspiration was flowing!
Today, simplicity was my theme and I am so happy with what I came up with! You can see a few here and there will be more on my Instagram. What do you think of my simplistic approach to these still lifes? 🙂 Leave your comments here … I love it when you like my posts and comment.
Thanks for stopping by! I always appreciate your visits!
We do the same when looking for project inspiration. We have photos archived by “feeling and concept”. One more f my favorites is copper. Was just looking thru it last week. Clients ask all the time how we stay motivated and never repeat an idea. Photos always are a big part of this. Thanks for sharing some of your cresmys! -Laurel
More and more, I like the simple, uncluttered look. With your pictures, it leaves room for me to insert myself and make up stories of what I might be doing in that picture. Thanks.
I feel the same as you! I love that … you making up stories. Thanks for sharing. I’d love it if you used my new hashtag on Instagram #simplicityinstilllife …
Beautiful images. I love working with whites and creams, there is something to be said for simplicity and lack of color sometimes can say more than something with color.
Thank you Debra! These images go with my new hashtag #simplicityinstilllife ?
