Still life photography transforms ordinary objects into visual poetry.
In Still Life Photography Contest, we invite photographers to explore the beauty, symbolism, and artistic possibilities of carefully composed scenes.
From everyday items on a kitchen table to elegant arrangements of flowers, fruit, tools, glassware, or personal objects, still life photography celebrates the quiet power of thoughtful composition and artistic vision.
The objects themselves may be simple, but through light, texture, color, and careful arrangement they can become expressive works of art. Whether your style is classical, modern, minimal, dramatic, or experimental, show us how you transform still subjects into compelling visual stories.
Studio setups, natural light compositions, minimalist arrangements, or richly detailed scenes are all welcome. Color or black & white images may be submitted.
Images submitted to this contest must be taken in 2024, 2025, or 2026.
What We’re Looking For
Strong composition — thoughtful placement of objects and visual balance
Creative lighting — use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere
Texture & detail — surfaces, shapes, and materials that add visual interest
Artistic storytelling — objects arranged to suggest mood, symbolism, or narrative
Originality — creative ideas and personal interpretation of still life subjects
