Selected by Stills: August’s best new images
This month, one of my still-life photographs was selected by Stills for their roundup of August’s best new images.
Each month Stills curates 100 favorites out of thousands of new uploads, choosing work that feels fresh, authentic, and ready to license. I am honored to have my image included among such a diverse and inspiring collection of photography.
Still life in the mix
For me, the exciting part is seeing still life hold space in this kind of showcase. Stills features portraits, lifestyle, landscapes, and more. My work sits right alongside them. It reinforces something I have always believed: even the simplest objects can carry presence and impact when styled and photographed with intention.
My approach to still life
I create images that are both conceptual and commercial. They are bold, playful, and unexpected, blending creative product photography with strategic brand goals. This balance is why my work resonates for campaigns in CPG, beauty, and design.
Why this recognition matters
Recognition like this signals that the style resonates in a broader creative conversation, not only in the product world. It is a reminder that still life photography can sit confidently next to portraits, lifestyle, or editorial work.
