Kind of painting or photograph put on biography (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

still life

'kind of painting' is the definition.

'photograph put on biography' is the wordplay.
'photograph' becomes 'still' (still is a kind of photograph).
'put on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'biography' becomes 'life' ('life' can be a synonym of 'biography').
'still'+'life'='STILL-LIFE'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for still life that I've seen before include "Picture" , "Painting of inanimate objects like fruit and flowers" , "Painting of inanimate things like fruit or flowers" , "Composition" , "work of art" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
