“Serenity” Still Life

This is my first studio still life! The name of this perfume is “Serenity” which is the feeling that I was trying to capture when creating this photo. I didn’t want to clutter this photo too much with additional props as this didn’t seem to add to the serene feeling that was trying to be achieved. The white background and use of (again) fairy lights helped me to achieve this peaceful aesthetic. I used two soft light boxes to illuminate the set and the soft light added to the calm feeling of the final photo.

One thing that I encountered that was frustrating at first but I ended up really appreciating in the end was the way the wires from the fairy light blurred across the bottle. I think that this adds an additional element of softness and adds to the photo in a way that I wasn’t originally trying to accomplish.
