And speaking of nice light... I used uber diffused studio lights for this shot. The poached pear was lit with two Lowell ego lights and a small softbox shooting across the back of the scene. I love the feeling of lightness in this image as well as the texture of the pear itself. Not to mention that the dark spiced red wine sauce is a great counter to the whitewashed look of the photo. Simple. Elegant. Yum.
