Contemporary Still Life
2010-55. Feb. 24, 2010.
Daily Shoot - There is often a conflict between traditional and contemporary. Make a photo that shows this tension. (@melhutch)
I think of 'the still life' as a traditional art form. I wanted to try a still life photograph today but give it a contemporary edginess. In Photoshop I made rectangular shape selections on my photo and copied each selection to its own layer. I then played with the blending modes for the layers and added different styles of drop shadows. I think it works. There's tension between the traditional still life in the background and the contemporary geometric shapes in the foreground. Thanks @melhutch for really making me think today :-)
