Special photos from Instagram - flat-lays - are called still-lives of the 21st century. At the master class of instabloger Alina Chubar at Prospekt shopping mall, Weekend tried to understand what  layout is, why we need a grid in a camera, how accessories and backgrounds for holiday photos can be collected and which stores may become real décor Klondikes for flat-lay beginners.
Margarita shares her impressions from the master class:
“I have my own store of goods for children, so, it is very useful for me to learn more about the rules for creating flat-lays. I liked that each participant could create his/her own flat-lay, moreover than earlier we were told about the basic rules of layout. It was useful to hear about photo processing. Of course, I could make an interesting layout using items that I already had at home. For winter flat-lays I will definitely use fir branches, Christmas toys, garlands. However, I still need to buy some decor. I think these little things will help my photos to look really great.
At home, I have a special photo zone installed on my balcony. There is the correct light set “as a daytime”, with different backgrounds. There I make experiments and create a mood.” 
The first and most important rule from the instablogger Alina Chubar:
«Wipe your camera before taking a photo.»
