Still lifes in the studio on canvas, poster, wallpaper and ArtFrame by Laura Dijkslag
In this album I present fine art still life photography, all created in my studio. The series consists of carefully composed scenes featuring flowers, plants, bouquets, and everyday objects such as cameras, old books, and other characterful items. Each work is about stillness, simplicity, and attention to detail.
While working in my studio, I draw strong inspiration from the old masters. Their painterly approach to light and composition forms the foundation of this series. In particular, the use of Rembrandt lighting plays a key role: a soft, directional light with deep shadows and subtle transitions. This lighting enhances shape, texture, and structure, giving the still lifes a classic and timeless appearance.
Dark backgrounds and warm tones create an intimate atmosphere in which each subject truly stands out. Through the careful balance of light and shadow, even ordinary objects take on a quiet, almost poetic quality. The images invite the viewer to slow down and observe.
This album is intended for lovers of fine art photography, classical art, and refined interiors. These still lifes fit beautifully in calm, elegant, or classic interiors, while also providing a striking contrast in modern spaces. Timeless imagery where photography meets the spirit of the old masters.
