Watermelon on a plate
I wanted to take a colorful summer inspired photo, and got very much inspiration from some of AlexEdg's work. I can't take credit for the creative part of this photo as it is almost a try to recreate one of her photos.
Strobist information:
A white Iittala Nero plate was placed on a white paper (for a bit of fill onto the lower part of the plate). More than a meter away, a light blue A3 paper was set up as a background. One nude (bare) Canon Speedlite 430EX (zoomed to 105mm) was pointed at the corner of the background, to get a bit of a gradient effect. Another Speedlite 430EX with Lastolite EzyBox Hotshoe (60cm) was set up camera left, behind and above the plate to control the shadows on the plate. A last Speedlite 540EZ in a Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe (60cm) with only the inner diffusion was placed camera right, slightly above and very close to the watermelon/plate. By taking away the outer diffusion material, the harder light showed off the freshness of the watermelon even better. Everything triggered by Elinchrom Skyports, initial metering with Sekonic L-358.
