Comment on Comfort me with apples... by jazzkidd

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.
