I am constantly working on improving my skills at food photography. Today, I finally put together a light box that has many of the needed elements (cheap, collapsable, flexible, easy to use, correct lighting profiles, not too hot inside). I am still working on shadows, tho I rather like these.
Let me know if you like them or drop some constructive criticism.
Pomagranate
Onions
Cranberries
The lightbox

These pictures are stunning. I’m especially loving the green onion roots.
Can I ask you to say a word or two about your lightbox and how you use it?

mzn: thanks for your kind words. Those onions are really amazing for macro work.
I put a shot of the light box at the bottom of this post (above these comments). It looks more like a light closet LOL! where I enclosed the object to be shot between two white cardboards and played with the lighting.
I dont use that anymore as I have rigged a more proper light box (cardboard box with bottom cut out and covered with white fabric and use a tungsten lightbulb.) This latter box gives a warmer and softer light. (pics using that are in more recent posts like the creme puffs)
