It's serious catch up time now and I have some interesting things in the works for this blog, so please stay tuned as I try to get back on track. I've found some great props and surfaces to show you, and have been adding new items to the Still*Life~Style shop. Thanks to all of you who have stopped by Etsy! I must say it is very exciting to see some of my prop finds making their way into my favorite blogs, blending seamlessly into each photographers' personal style and vision. Here are some perfect examples that you may have already been admiring:
Helene Dujardin's Roasted Pepper and Ricotta Tart, recipe in this recent post on Tartelette, those wonderful veggie colors popping off a SLS rustic cutting board. Looks great layered on her paint smudged wood surface.

Celine Steen and I share the same weakness for vintage paper straws, small jars and simple bottles. I always come away from have cake, will travel with a great recipe and a good laugh!

Meeta Wolff was able to incorporate lots of the props I sent for the Plate to Page Weimar workshop into her posts at What's for Lunch, Honey? I think the shots look wonderful, she has such a great feel for color placement! By the way, Meeta and team are currently into their second workshop in Tuscany and working on putting together number three in the UK. You can follow them here, and check out the post I wrote for them about commercial photo assignments.

Hope to have more of these images to share with you soon. I have had some very talented prop stylists come through the shop, and it's always interesting to see how other stylists "see" the props differently. New things are always coming my way (I shop a lot faster than I post, evidently!), contact me through my website at chicagophotostylist.com for prop sourcing requests.

ReplyDeleteDelighted to hear from you again. I've just returned from your Etsy shop, where I drooled over, well, pretty much every item there is. So very inspiring.
