One week photo challenge : Photographing apples
Day 3
Today I used a soft metal wire to add interesting highlights to the dark composition. I played a little with the idea of creating an abstract shape.
Lighting.
I used a reflected flash light on top of the subject, but slightly on the right side. I also used a few black boards to darken the area around the subject.

Day 2
Here I added some layers and framed the subject using reflections and different materials. I also played a little bit with the colour contrast.
Lighting.
It took me a few attempts to get the lighting right in this shot. First I tried with direct light, but the shiny surface of the apple was reflecting too much….Therefore I had to use some backlight and a reflected light from the left, in order to avoid any problems. A black board on the left stopped the backlight from falling directly onto the subject.

One week photo challenge: photographing apples
Day 1
I’ve decided to dedicate this week to apples! It’s a challenge!
I’ll be taking pictures of apples for a week and posting them as I go along. Starting form today, this is my first photograph! I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Lighting.
For this setup I used one flash light with a small soft box (from the right) and three black boards to darken the areas around the subject. I also used a white card on the left, to bounce the light onto the darkest area of the subject.

These small and sweet black grapes are coming from our vineyard.
Behind the scenes.
For the setup I used two lights and some boards. I placed the main light on the side and one soft light on the background. I also used one white to reflect some light on the darkest areas and one black to block the light on the opposite side.

I used a black stone base and droplets in order to add layers and texture. Shot with one light and I used a white board to bounce the light back onto the subject. I also used a black board to darken the background on the right.

It’s a red cabbage…But I see a warrior! 😉
For the setup I used one light and a white board on the opposite side, in order to balance the light and get more details in the dark areas.
