Proposal: Low Key Still Life

Due: 9/16, in class. Be prepared to discuss.

Write a 1-page proposal for a low key still life project. In a low key still life, the image is generally darker, tonally.  The background is generally on the darker end of the scale and the lighting design supports deeper shadows.

For this project, please steer away from overly shiny, metallic or glass subjects, for now. These present particular challenges that might be best to avoid for now.

Design a background that supports the subject.

Your proposal should consist of:
  • A description of the subject
  • A description of the background
  • An over idea or concept
  • Any particulars regarding the set-up of the still life that you are considering that come to mind (e.g. need to build a stand to prop up objects, or create a GOBO for a certain effect)
  • A brief description of at least two still life examples, by well-known, established photographers (choose two different artists) that serve to inspire the set-up and/or lighting design of your project. These examples should be properly referenced
  • 1-2 pages
