Black.
Oh, that'll be soooo easy. I've pinned some awesome food images with dark or black backgrounds and color schemes. Love them. I've so got this.
Did you hear that? That sound of tires screeching to a halt? Yeah. that was me. Me NOT "so got this" about food and a black background.
So much harder than I expected. I wasn't getting it. I was so dissapointed. And I was out of time. This is as good as it gets, folks. You better believe that once I get caught up on some life things, I'll be trying this out again.
One thing I learned is that these black or dark background images REQUIRE props. And I'm not really a prop girl. So that'll take some research AND cash. But at least I know it going forward now. I suppose that means I did learn something.

I disagree about the props, Carey--they just need a strong subject! Love your berries in that container. There are no distractions, they just simply shine. Your background is SO black, I really struggled with that and found editing to look too odd. I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteOh, but these looks yummy. Love the pop of color on the black!
ReplyDeleteI think you totally rocked this! Your black is so deep and rich-it really makes the berries POP off the screen! Love how vibrant the color is against the deep black. Wonderfully executed!
ReplyDeleteCarey, the black is the ticket for these berries. Love the contrast and the texture of the berries. I love the composition as well. Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteThe light is perfect on the berries - you captured their authentic, rich color. It pops off the black - beautifully done (and no need to buy props!)!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!! Your photo is perfect and I LOVE the color of those berries!
ReplyDeleteI love how the berries just pop off the page. I also love the simplicity of the shot and the focus on the berries. Mission accomplished!!
ReplyDeleteGreat image Carey. I love the raspberries, the black little box that their in was a great choice. The berries on the far right almost look like they are floating......great job
ReplyDeleteSOOO beautiful, Carey!!! Look at that perfect lighting!! I want a print of this for my wall!!
