I saw this pepper at a farmers market in central NJ. I’d never seen a multi colored one like this before. Knew I wanted to photograph it. Also a good chance to channel me some Edward Weston and have some fun in the studio. Cheers!
Light 'Em Up
Of course the inspiration for this is Uncle Fester from the Addams Family. It’s a simple composite of two photographs. The first is with the light on hanging from a bare light fixture. For the second, the silver base, the light bulb is affixed to a table with some blue sticky tack. Two Paul C Buff Einstein lights illuminate each side of the light. Canon 5D Mk II using 100mm 2.8 L Lens. 1/200 at f5.6. 2 images then put together in Photoshop with some slight seasoning in Lightroom.
