In our previous post (How To Take Macro Photos In The Kitchen), we talked about photographing the texture and details of a sliced fruit. eg. An orange. This video tutorial extends on that concept and will give your photo a whole new dimension. To complete this tutorial, you will require the following –

Photography Equipment Required:

• Camera
• Macro Lens
• Tripod (if possible). If you do not have a tripod, you can try propping your camera onto a flat surface.
• Reflector (if possible). If you do not have one, you can achieve a very similar result by trying to reflect light off a white T-Shirt. Alternatively, find another spot that is nicely lit or use a table lamp.

Other Equipment Required:

• Glass vase that has a flat surface
• A bottle of sparkling water
• A fresh lemon- You will only need a slice. Make sure you choose one that’s fleshy!
• Clothes line peg
• Background color/pattern paper or material
