Kate Bragg’s Still Life{style}

One could argue that still-life photography is one of the most complicated genres of photography. Noting “off the cuff” about it, in this genre the photographer places themselves in charge of lighting, subject matter, composition, texture—the whole shebang. The preparation required to pull off such a shoot requires a most disciplined and thoughtful artist. One such artist is Kate Bragg, creator of the Still Life{style} series. Every month, Kate has had as swooning (and often drooling) on the forum with each new addition to her series.

At the beginning of 2016, I started the Still Life{style} Project. The idea for the project was to combine my favorite photography genres – lifestyle, food, and still life – to capture all that the different seasons have to offer. I wanted to document the different foods, flora, and weather for each season here in Maine, as well as the different moods and emotions that go with them. This project has given me a renewed sense of being in tune with the seasons and helped me to notice the beauty all around me at different times of the year. I don’t know that I fully appreciated wildflowers on the roadside before but I certainly do now. As we move into autumn, my favorite time of the year, I look forward to continuing with the project and working to find new ways to capture the bounty of the harvest and holiday seasons.
