If you don't have studio lighting equipment, or a set of 2 or three speedlights for your digital camera (either way, you're looking at a few thousand dollars worth of gear), but you want to do some cool indoor still life or portrait photography, here is a good way to approach it.

Remembering Robert Mapplethorpe – Master of Photography

Kevin Moss — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:50:27 +0000

Among professional photographers, art collectors and rock & roll historians, Mapplethorpe is a well remembered icon. His beautiful friendship with rocker Patti Smith (beloved here in the Detroit area) is well documented and discussed. His hard work in the fine art circles of making photography a serious artform is also well known. In the least, my article here should serve a purpose if introducing Robert Mapplethorpe and his work to the new legions of digital photographers who have joined our ranks in the past 5, 10 or 20 years. View his website, http://www.mapplethorpe.org/ and pay close attention to Mapplethorpe's body of work. His mastery of composition, color, tone in both black and white and color should be inspiration enough. If anything else, his portraits are timeless, and may make you rethink your own choice of subject matter and composition.
