Still Life Photography: Find Your Simple

This looks yummy! Hello, Christine! Love the colors and those plate and cup are so pretty! Coffee indeed is the best accessory (I think everywhere =D) One thing I would probably do here is to move the whole combo - (mug, hand+ plate) more to the centre, so that the distance from edge of the picture to the mug would be roughly the same as the distance from the right edge of the picture to the plate <img src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/parentClasses/1338111d2c6b8d3ed6aa832daa296a9e/158870ca" alt="158870ca" /> Something like this. I also darkened the left part of the image to make it more even and for image to look more moody.<img src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/parentClasses/1338111d2c6b8d3ed6aa832daa296a9e/4f97208e" alt="4f97208e" /> But other than that - great picture with nice simple colors! Thank you so much for sharing it here :) Mariya

Great feedback, thank you! I'll need to go back and rewatch some parts to see which photo editor you're using. Love it! :)

=) No problem In this class I dont cover editing, but if you are interested in my editing process on computer - I use Lightroom(LR) most of the time for any color corrections, I have a section of LR editing in this class <a class="url" href="http://skl.sh/1Vnor5y" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">http://skl.sh/1Vnor5y</a> . Its video number 11 and its called "Editing" :) If you are interested on the editing on the phone, then you can also check similar section from mobile photography class - this one <a class="url" href="http://skl.sh/1WHBr8S" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">http://skl.sh/1WHBr8S</a> check out video number 19 "editing in VSCO"
Just to make matters more confusing, with your picture I didn't use either, as I had to extend the left part of the table to put the objects in the middle. And this is Photoshop area. Used content aware tool for that (multiple times). If you need more detailed explanations, dont hesitate to ask :)

Thank you, I'll watch both of those to see what I can take from them. I've just started playing around with Photoshop, but it seems there aren't enough hours in a day to learn all that I'm curious about!

Ahaha same problem here =) Also want to learn lots and lots =D But if you have questions while you learn, you can always ask here :)

Savory breakfast is a nice change from the ordinary. Gluten free toast with hummus and fresh avocado. Coffee is the best accessory here!
