Fruit/Vegetable - Lighting techniques

For my assignment, the following pictures are lit using the following lighting techniques:

45o/45o lighting.


Top lit.


Low key.


Back lit & High key.

45o/45o lighting - One light at 45 degrees in the direction at the subject and at 45 degrees in height - Created strong shadows.

.

Top lit - Lighting the subject from directly above - Created strong shadows in any gap directly under the subject.

.

Low key - Lighting an image so that the dark tones and shadows dominate.

.

High key - Lighting an image so that the bright tones dominate with none or very little shadows.

.

Back lit - Lighting the subject directly from behind - Can create shadows towards the camera
