Sometimes when I feel stuck creatively, I like to look at galleries or blog posts with interesting photography concepts. Recently I was browsing ideas for creative still life photos because I wanted to practice something indoors during bad weather. I ended up discovering some really inspiring examples on the Skylum blog. The site focuses a lot on photography techniques and editing tools like Luminar, but they also share many creative shooting ideas. After seeing some of those compositions I tried recreating a few with objects from my kitchen and it turned out to be a fun exercise.
