TECHNICAL INTERNSHIP STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

In the history of European art tradition, still life refers to the depiction of dead or inert objects (flowers, fruit, dead animals, glasses, instruments, etc.). Their selection and grouping were based on content (often symbolic) and aesthetic aspects. These depictions developed into an independent genre of painting at the beginning of the 17th century during barock.

Photographic still lifes are usually referred to by their English name “still-life photography.” This refers to the photographing of objects. In addition to artistic still lifes, there is a separate group of purely technical object or product photographs, such as those frequently found in so-called “applied photography” (e.g., advertising).
