The Found Object movement is something that has been around for centuries since painters such as Pieter Claesz would take objects, place them in complementary settings such as a well lit table and would paint them out of their natural environment. This method has since been adopted by the photography world and has been used for advertisements such as perfume or food  and is often used as an art form such as when photographer and sculptor, Thomas Demand, creates a set or scene entirely of paper, photographs it and then destroys the set for example this office block is entirely paper. 

TripTych

Here is my example of a Triptych of Still Life photography. This was a part of a Found Object brief in which I was tasked with going to other student’s accommodation, borrowing an object and taking a still of of that object. When informed of this brief, I was asked not to take a picture of a beer can or miscellaneous bottle as that seemed too easy, so I took this as a challenge and chose to take pictures of 3 different bottles of alcohol but imbue 3 colours throughout the images. Choosing to stick with the primary colours, I filled each bottle with coloured water and made the background alternating colours to give a pattern to the triptych. I used a standard 18-50mm lens on a Canon 70D, I found that this lens was a little too large for the up close Still Life.
