I love the way pears come in all shapes and sizes. I think they make the prettiest photos of all the fruits. I placed three Bosc pears on a black reflective table and added a tall green lit candle to this arrangement. I photographed this lovely scene against a black backdrop using strobe lighting in my studio. The result is a beautiful composition with moody undertones.
Green Hat and Yellow Pears
I placed a green hat, on a patterned cloth, resting against a wrought iron candle holder. I added a green lit candle on the holder, and three Bosc pears on the cloth. To complete the scene I added a black chess piece. This arrangement was photographed against a black backdrop and a black table. The elements of this composition really stand out against the dark background with reflections.
Three Green Pears
I gathered three ripe pears in my studio and arranged them in a row against a black and then white backdrop. Each image has a different feel to it. Not sure which I like better. All these images were taken in studio. The colors on the second image were added as a texture. The image against the black backdrop were arranged on a shiny black table. Their vibrant green color and smooth, glossy surface give them a fresh and appetizing appearance. They look good enough to eat.
