1. Edward Weston (1886— 1958) is one of the most familiar still life photographers. Green Pepper, Conch and Toilet are his most famous works.

The characteristic of Weston's shooting is that he can find ordinary things with a unique eye and render their beauty from a certain angle and part with light and composition. Under his lens, green peppers no longer seem like green peppers, and toilets are not toilets.

2. American photographer Evan Payne (19 17—2009) is famous for his fashion and portrait photography, but his still life photography is more exciting.

Evan Payne does not pursue the beauty of turning objects into pictures like Weston, but uses the extremely powerful descriptive power of the camera to fully show the texture of the material itself again. Under his lens, cigarette butts are still cigarette butts, and the cigarette butts in the photos are more accurate and materialistic than what we usually see.

3. German photographer Wolfgang Tillmanns (1968-)' s still life photography works are not shot in the studio, but just like a glimpse of life. A cup of coffee, some apples, a friend's clothes, a shell on the windowsill, the beauty of these items exists in life, in their owners, and reminds the author or readers of their own lives.

4. Roger Byron Roger Barron (1950-translator's note) was born in the United States, but he lived in South Africa all the year round in the 1980s and 1990s, filming the hard life of Ribble people in a small village. From then on, Byron began to construct pictures with objects, animals and people familiar with his place.

His photography is neither like a formal gesture nor like life, but like a game or performance of objects, animals and people together. He also participated in the game and recorded it. Under the intense flash, these unexplained images bring mystery, which is a reflection on objects and their meanings.
