Apple Turnovers

In my recent product shoot for the bakery team I did the entire set really high keyed with the lights leaning towards the overexposed look and I liked it. So for today's photo I decided to run the back lights hotter than the key lights and so far so good.

 

It gave it a more inviting, please eat me look to the photo. I then took it one step further and added a background light to act as ambient.

 

Overall, very please with the look and quality of light and will incorporate this lighting style in future sessions.

 

It's all about experimentation.
