I chose to take some pictures of markers as one of my still life photos because I thought it would be really colorful and make pretty pictures. I thought that if I picked the markers that were the colors of the rainbow, I could play around with filters to make some cool still lives. I grabbed a couple pieces of black paper from my house and set them up like a little box so I could explore different angles. I then took 5 different pictures from different vantage points and put different filters on three of them.

For another one of my still life photos I photographed three apples. I chose to do three because I thought that having an even number would make it look too perfect in a way and I wanted to capture how different the apples were in shape, color, and size. I placed the apples on my kitchen counter top and arranged them in different patterns. Then I took photos from high, low, and straight on angles. After I took the photos I put filters on a few of them and it turned out really cool, the neon glow is my favorite because it points out the defects on the apples, which makes them more unique.

For the colored pencils I used the back of wrapping paper to create a white stage to take pictures on. I rolled out the wrapping paper across the wall and floor and then I placed the colored pencils on it in different arrangements. I loved photographing the colored pencils because they are so bright and fun and can be put into multiple different patterns. My favorite filter that I used was the palette knife filter because it makes the pencils a little bit blurry but it still captures how bright and colorful they are.

This patch of pumpkins and flowers is set up on my front porch and I thought it was the perfect still life photo. It's different from the other pictures I took because I didn't have to stage it or give it a new background. I left them exactly how they were and took photos from different angles. I put filters on them and I thought the filters really captured the fall vibe I was going for. It makes me excited for October and Halloween!

I also photographed these pumpkins using the wrapping paper background. These mini pumpkins are set up around my house as October/fall decor so I thought they would be perfect to photograph now that it's Halloween season. I took a couple pictures of three pumpkins and a couple of six pumpkins, I like to switch it up so you aren't getting the same picture repeated multiple times. I messed around with different angles and positions and I really liked how they turned out, they were simple but yet so cute and festive.
