Photo flashmob with prizes. A new subject till May 28. The 3rd stage.

Hello, dear participants of the wowcharm project!

I thank all who voted for my photo I am very glad to an opportunity to carry on tradition of our photoflashmobs. I had several ideas for a new subject. One another is more interesting. But I stopped on a subject which will help us to learn art of composition. Because my choice - Fotonatyurmort.

Still life in painting (from fr. nature morte — "dead nature") — the image of inanimate objects. However modern Fotonatyurmort welcomes pets - cats, birdies, dogs, small fishes in an aquarium.

The still life as a genre was born in the XV—XVI centuries as a part of historical or genre composition. Long time the still life kept communication with a religious picture. Early still lifes often performed utilitarian function, for example, as decoration of shutters of a case or for masking of a wall niche. The still life is finally made out as an independent genre of painting in works of the Dutch and Flemish artists of the 17th century. Objects often contain the hidden allegory in natyurmortny painting of this period — or transiences of all terrestrial and inevitability of death. This value is transferred by means of use of acquaintances and the objects which are found in everyday life which are allocated with additional symbolical value. Blossoming of natyurmortny painting began in the Netherlands with the middle of the 17th century.

I suggest you to glance before photography or the choice of already ready photo in the Internet for works of the famous artists in a still life genre. In particular, look at works of masters of the Netherlands still life in different genres:
Early flower still life: Jacob de Gueyn Mladschi, Ambrosius Boskhart Starshy, Ambrosius Boskhart Mladshy.
"Breakfasts" still lifes and "The served tables": Floris van Dijk, Klara Peters, Hans van Essen, Adrian Korte.
Tone still life: Peter Klas, Willem Klas Heda, Jan Yans den Eyl, Jan Yans Track, Jan Yans van de Velde, Paulus van den Bos.
Scientific still life: David Bailly, Peter Stenveyk, Maria van Osterveyk.
Illyuzionistichesky still life: Samyuel van Hogstraten, Cornelis of Brizé.
Magnificent still life: Jan Davids de Ham, Willem Kalf, Abraham van Beyeren, Abraham Minyon.
Late still life: Willem van Alst, Jan Baptist Veniks, Jan van Hyoysum

However we will return presently. In a century of Facebook, Odnoklasnikov and Instagramma on the third place after a selfie and a photo of beautiful landscapes occupy photostill lifes, including with pets.


Drawing up a still life is a special magic, this true separate art. It demands from the author of creation of own parallel reality. It is necessary not only to make correctly objects, and to recover them and to create the world that they communicated among themselves and with the viewer.

Can inspire on statement of a photostill life something absolutely insignificant, and it can happen unexpectedly. For example, a favourite cat, a favourite cup, a toy, some broken branch noticed on the road from walk. Or the shell brought from the sea, or accidentally found button, or plain butylek. You can construct with them unique history.

In photostill lifes there are two main secrets

1) To competently construct composition up to fine details and to work over light;
2) To create illusion of life that it was not just a set of objects, and the told story that, looking at a still life, there was a wish to see or think up continuation.

I suggest you to look around myself and to conjure with favourite objects and things which you will find houses or on the street. And maybe, you already have a ready, but not published anywhere photo.



So, a subject of the third stage "FOTONATYuRMORT" In photos there should not be people. From the name and the small introduction it is clear that in a photostill life there has to be a composition from several objects, which as if tells the audience some lovely sincere story.
