"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." -Lewis Grizzard
This is another picture I shot for my Biocommunications Object Lighting portfolio. I have become really interested in photographing food. For some reason, in a design sense, food really speaks to me. I'm really looking forward to shooting food more often, and want to start trying more studio setups to look like a kitchen or dinner table. I also want to shoot some simple prepared food.
This is a picture of my setup. The fork and tomato are between the two white boards. I held the fork up vertically with a large studio clamp. I originally wanted a white background (hence the white backdrop,but found that I liked it better on the black background because it made both the metal and the color of the tomato pop.
I used a Nikon D300, 60mm macro lens, at ISO 200, 1/50 sec., and f/29.
This is very interesting and I really like the choice of background color. It does make the tomato stand out and that's the point! haha
