Still Life ideas

I still have mixed feelings about my still life pieces so I thought about taking some more interesting shots and seeing if I could improve my photos at all. The photo of the money tree plants in the gin bottles is possibly my favourite and I like how the bottles reflect onto the wooden surface, so if needs be I will probably include this in my final piece for my still pieces (if I want to change them that is).

These photos I like due to the fact the bottle caps are brighter and bolder than the actual background. The background is my coat that I pinned to the wall as the photo was very impromptu so I couldn’t get the nice fabrics from the photography studios to take said photos.

I changed the colouring and aperture setting on my camera to achieve this last photo, I am not too found of it because due to the low quality it looks like an Instagram filter.
