In the summer of 2020, when we were on and off on lockdowns here in California because of COVID-19, one of my favorite things to do was shopping at the local farmers market, which continued to operate with some modifications. During that time, I bought a number of vegetables with the intention to photograph them. Peppers and tomatoes stood out, as they revealed interesting forms and shapes under certain angles.
I wrote a post about this project before, which can be viewed here, focusing on peppers.
A local friend is growing tomatoes and she knows about my twisted taste for strange forms. Last week she phoned me saying that I needed to come by and get the tomato portrayed in the FEATURED IMAGE.
I had many hours of entertainment doing this project, between choosing the vegetables, washing them, photographing and post-processing the images. If you have ever tried to photograph tomatoes, you know that they glow. Lighting is tricky, and failed experiments were many. Post-processing involved some selective dodging and burning in Photoshop. It is sure a fun collection to look at, and work on.
Prints of the photographs in this small collection are available for sale at me GeoGalleries “vegetables” portfolio.
