Still life

After experimenting in the studio and getting used to using different equipment and lights, I have come to my own conclusion of what still life is really about to me personally. Still life is about how the photographer makes the photograph, rather than just taking a photograph of something. For example the third time I was in the studio I took photos of my own photographs, and my own photographs were of places I had been and wanted to shoot. However, when taking photographs of my photographs I found it was all about the arrangement and composition within the photograph, rather than taking a photograph of a landscape that I can't change.
