Sexeh Fruit

[Bobster]

did a little experiementing last night on trying to make fruit looks sexeh!

#1


#2 Mini Pineapple and Strawberries


good thing about shooting food, is that you get to eat the props after altho' won't be buying another mini pineapple, tasted very sour

not really sure if this works or not..

2nd pic is best, the first is not really striking, the 3rd is frankly, a bit boring. I love that orange background, is that paper ?

[Bobster]

yeah, its some textured card i had laying around in the office

Rachel bought more strawberries today much bigger than the last batch, i'm going to have another go 2nite

i might have a go with some other fruit, theres a manipulation that i want to try out

I like all three, although the second is more unusual, with everyone and their dog doing the clear white backdrop thing. Saying that, I still really love the clear white thing and think that 1 is great (bit too much flash pickup on the highlights, and you cropped the shadow which IMO spoils it a little, but still great). #3 is cool too, although I'm not sure whether the DOF leaving the leaves of the pineapple blurred is a good thing, or bad. Technically I'd liked to have seen it sharp right through, but aesthetically, I kind of like it.

Nice work fella, I would maybe try to have fresher heads on the strawberries or cut them off

Bobster do you mind if I have a go and post 'em here ? Too lazy to make a new thread

Pic 2 is my fav.

Are these done in a light tent thingy?

[Bobster]

LOL bathtub is my way to go

I think sexy fruit - and by this we're talking strawberries - implies adding chocolate, dark light and red trimmings, I do like the background of the second shot and the arrangement... maybe fruit dipped, or dipping in chocolate? or chocolate drizzled onto/in the act of drizzling on the fruit? think the ones above are not really sexy but more punchy hi-key/high-sat shots maybe...? good product shots for sure!

p.s. cheeky kids eh!

To me the colours look slightly off - maybe a bit too yellow, however it might just be the monitor i'm using

[Bobster]

that will be your monitor then

Nice work as always - wish I could take shots like that.
