Photography

Captured with a Sinar P camera. a 240mm/5.6 APO Symmar lens, and a BetterLight scanning digital back.

This is a minimalist studio still life, so it's all about lighting and geometry.

Illuminated by a single hard light placed at the left of the frame, yielding well defined shadows. The background was a white sweep table, creating the illusion of an infinite background. The fruit looks evenly spaced, but actually the rear one had to be much farther back than the center one to create that effect.

@[email protected] thank you for posting this; It makes me smile every time you do.

My uncle was a professional photographer specializing in food, and published in a number of books. I spent a spring school holiday working with him, and he was walking me through some lighting stuff, and we did 3 bulbs of garlic, and this just reminds of me of that.

Then it was off to the dark room...
