This is so lovely. It's so simple, and the message doesn't take away from this concept at all. I have to ask though, did you photograph this in any special way to make the white background so pure, and the reflections so vivid? The shadowing is even wonderful.. I've never attempted to photograph still life objects like this.. I always thought you had to have some sort of setup to get the backdrop right. (For this effect, at least.)

beautiful photo!

You are right about the setup. I used two monolights here. I also shot this in a diffusion box. You can buy the box to isolate objects off ebay for about $20 which is where I got mine. If you want the light setup, I recommend my set of course because It's great quality for the price. You can get cheaper, but you might end up with junk. These are the flashpoint monolights from Adorama [link] I bounch one light off the back wall which makes it very white, I then have the other light coming from above and to the side to give the lighting to the apples.

This certainly didn't happen by accident. I have spent a great deal of time practicing and reading on how to do stuff like this. DeviantArt has also been a huge help, just by seeing stuff I like and asking how they did it. If you ever have any photography or photoshop questions, just note me and I'll do my best to help you.

Well photographed, I've been looking into similar setups as to what you have used for this but i never thought about looking into ebay for the diffusion box, adding the water to the apples really gives the appearence of freshness and the colours are great. I also like the quote you have added to the piece.

Thank you so much for the information and hints! I think I have a white desplay box somewhere from when I was younger doing a school project, it's most likely not the right thing, but I could just play around and practice using that (It's like, a 3 sided cube) and a few desk lights or something.. Until I can get my hands on the correct equipment. Thanks again!
