Shooting Produce

You know, I have never shot any produce images before. In fact, I am not much of a food shooter as it is such an exacting art, I've never chosen to try and tackle such a demanding discipline.

However, on a recent magazine photo shoot, produce was part of what I had to shoot. The day I shot these images was overcast and the sun was filtered through a cloud bank that acted as a hug soft box.

That light was filtered indirectly through the openings in the produce stand which made it soft and turned the colors super-saturated.

Curiously, all of the food was shot how I found it. No artificial lighting or reflectors - just glorious filtered, indirect light.
