If you’re actively sharing your passions on social media, still life photography will help you not only spark interest (and likes!) but also help drive traffic to your website/blog. Learning the basics of photography helped me think more carefully about what I want the photo to convey. I no longer simply just point, shoot and upload.

I follow these tips (Photography 101: Six Essential Still Life Photography Tips) each time I set up for a still life photography session. If you’re on Twitter or Instagram be sure to tag me and let me know how my tips have helped you!
