Take any item and photograph it in unusual lighting conditions or from a different, maybe unexpected, angle. Using unusual lighting conditions to create interest is an easy technique. This makes for interesting shots that can also surprise the audience. Maybe keep them guessing on the actual nature of the object. Here I take a common food item. There are other examples of how lighting can be used here.
Let’s look at the golden image. It could be flames, maybe the sun, or a precious stone. It is a thin slice of a button mushroom on a backlit sheet of glass. Using unusual lighting conditions create interest.
