Shelter-in-Place Still Lifes:
A Selection

To mark a year since the beginning of California’s Stay-at-Home order (March 2020) and the start of my Shelter-in-Place Still Lifes project, I’ve put together a Kindle collection called Shelter-in-Place Still Lifes: A Selection. The book contains a selection of my favorite still lifes taken over the past year. All photos were taken of objects around the house using natural light and photographed using the Nikon Z6 and 105mm f/2.8 lens.


Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.
