Getting beauty from this shoot was harder than I expected.
Things I learned or reinforced:
- I over estimated the translucence of oranges
- I found radishes to be really opaque but with lovely leaves
- kiwi have a LOT of potential that I have not tapped yet
- Alcohol, 409, and copious amounts of paper towels are your friends when dealing with plate glass
I will be revisiting this sort of shot with better technique and a better black baseplate that doesn’t allow bleed through from light below. I will be posting the setup after I get this main post up.
Here are some more images with a few of the non-flash versions (to show you what it looks like in full light though not the best lighting)
