Photographing Fruit in the style of Lorenzo Vitturi

Photographing Fruit in the style of Lorenzo Vitturi

I started this photograph session using tomatoes and plums. I shaped them in the A shape to show my name. Natural light was used in some but was too dark. Artificial light gives a clearer image.




I changed the paper underneath the composition so that the light would be a but brighter and gives shiny sopts on the fruit.








I started to build a "Plum tower" the same as Lorenzo Vitturi. I also included some rotting chilli peppers. The plums are smooth and fresh, a contrast to the rotting chilli peppers which are old and wrinkly.











 I changed the background colour to orange which shows the dark plums perfectly. I did not want a background colour to be similar to the fruit.
I have focused an the dark plum and garlic at the back which is sharp. The dark plum at the front and the garlic cloves are all out of focus.



This photograph shows the focus an the front of the fruit and vegetables. However the very front of garlic is out of focus. I like the old chilli because it gives a different texture to the smooth plums.
