Gear & Props
In this lesson, I'll discuss my lighting, props, and home setup. You'll see how simple it is to create beautiful still life images with minimal equipment.
Cross Light
The classic cross-light is a great starting point for mastering still-life images. I cover how and where to position the light to achieve the best results.

Adding Backgrounds
Learn how to easily add a background texture to your still life images using my unique blending modes method in Photoshop.
Multiple Exposures
I'll teach you how to blend multiple exposures in Photoshop using masks. This process results in a unique and painterly effect.
Tilt Lens Focus
I'll teach you how to achieve an ultra-shallow depth of field look using a Canon 90mm Tilt-Shift Lens. This technique adds a unique visual effect.
Overhead Camera
I demonstrate how to shoot overhead with the camera pointed straight down. This perspective can be used in almost any location.

Getting close to a small subject provides viewers with a unique perspective. Learn how I do this using the focus stacking technique.

Creative Process
Throughout this masterclass, I aim to move beyond the technical aspects and emphasize how you can improve your creative process.

"I took Joel's first Still Life Masterclass and really loved it! This second masterclass brings still-life up to a whole new level! I loved how in-depth Joel discusses his creative procecss, his mistakes, and talks through every detail. I highly recommend all photographers take this class, no matter your normal genre, you will learn sooo much!"

"Joel's classes are well worth the money, I have taken several of them, but this one, is definitely my favorite! I like that he shows you his home setup, because most of us don't have access to a studio, so it is nice to see the other in-home options out there for creating gorgeous images with ordinary objects. I highly recommend this class."
