For this lab exercise I used an apple for the object. Regarding the background I used a bamboo rolling mat for a light background and a blue table mat for a dark background. In the process of taking the photos I used a clip lamp, tracing paper to get a soft light and a birds eye view angle; then I edited the photos in Lightroom. The different backgrounds make the photos more interesting and give the mood a different vibe. For the light background the apple looks brighter and stands out, while in the dark background the apple looks more dull; and is blending into the background.
stands out more in dark background. good point of view
