Still Life composition goes back to the early days of painting. Until Leonardo da Vinci subjects often consisted of religious and other metaphoric objects. The still life has always been a key tool for experimentation and development for the artist and photography adopted this tradition as well. Still Life Photography has its roots all the way back to Henry Fox Talbot, on of the fathers of photography, in his still life experimentations with photograms and composed pictures of objects found at Lacock Abbey.
