Still life photography seems a bit more difficult to master. Norimichi Inoguchi is a wonderful still life photographer that uses lighting techniques that do not overwhelm the product he is shooting. This photograph shows an all white shoe against an all white background, but separates the two by the way he set up the lights. The show being photographed almost looks as if it is slightly off the backdrop; most visible when looking at the tassels. This gives the photograph a very three-dimensional look instead of thinking that the show is flat on the surface of that backdrop.
This photograph by Norimichi Inoguchi is a great example of a reflected surface being successfully photographed. The bright light on the top of the glasses indicated the direction of the light which is set up. The fact that there are no reflections of the actual lights themselves, or anything else, drew me into this photograph.
