Food Photography : Aubergine On Lid

DSC_1079

…Continuing my personal project on fruit & veg portraiture and still life photography. I saw this lid and the colour was just perfect for this composition!

Lighting.

I used a flash light with softbox, placed on the left. I made a “box” using 3 dark panels and then I bounced the light onto the subject using three small white panels on the right.

Food Photography : Pear On Tablespoon

DSC_0993

A square composition for this shot. I think I have to experiment a little more with the idea of creating a corner in the background, because I really like the effect.

Lighting.

For this shot I used a side light with soft box and two canvas to create a corner behind the subject, then  I placed a black board on the left and on top to darken some areas on the background. I also used a small sheet of paper to reflect just a little bit of light onto the subject and the spoon (on the right).

Food Photography : Half An Apple With Ice (Black & White)

DSC_0616

One week photo challenge : Photographing apples

Day 7

The final picture of the series (at least for now) is a black & white picture. A moody composition with half an apple with broken ice cubes, on a dark background (top view).

Lighting. 

I used one diffused light coming from the right and some black boards to darken the area around the apple. I also did some editing in Lightroom, adding a little of cyan to the black and white tones in the picture.

Food Photography : Apples On Blue Background

DSC_0594

One week photo challenge : Photographing apples

Day 6

An apple comes from the local market, the other two come from a tree…Can you guess?

Note. Quite difficult to get the right balance with the colours here, because the predominant colour is blue, however I decided to use a light blue background because I quite liked the contrast with the red apples.

Lighting.

For this setup I used one diffused light from the right and a large white board on the left, to make the background lighter on one side. I also used a black board on the opposite side to partially darken the background. Then I edited in LM.

Food Photography : Apple In Ice

One week photo challenge : Photographing apples

Day 4

Continuing my daily project and going a little more abstract here!

Lighting. 

In this setup I used a reflected light (reflected on a large white board) coming from the right. I used a black board to partially darken the background. I also used a small white board to reflect some light onto the apple and onto the edge of the ice on the left.
