Hi Folks,

If you have a difficulty in twisting the cap because your hand is slippery, how about unzipping the banana and the chance is that you may get a delicious and nutritious banana split…….:)

Like other photography genres (which I have yet to explore most of them), food photography is equally challenging. This is because food are perishable and fast deteriorating.

Without extra props like gelatin spray, timeliness is an important factor to ensure the subjects are captured while still in a perfect shape.

To overcome the challenge, patience is a necessity. The more you have, the better. And I needed it most when inserting the zipper meticulously.

Another requirement on top of the check list is, of course, a creativity……:)

Be extra careful when you zip or unzip for it may stuck and pinch the skin, giving an ant's bite sensation....:)

Thanking you in advance for viewing and your kind words.

Agoes

Props: a banana, a zipper, a black velvet and free outside lighting through the window.

hi Agoes

Sometimes if you piece a few words together it can become very interesting in thoughts

banana, zip, unzip, skin, peel.

and searching those key words in photography will yield all kinds of images!

I like your originality in this series of work.

Hello Agoes! Nico and Velvet Underground! Andy Warhol! Original art work. Good capture. Great effect. Well done!

Hi Agoes,
This time you zpped a banana. :) This series is still great and you contribute with very imaginative and creative shots, technically perfectly realized. It gives back the true colours of the banana, well used natural lighting. TFS.
Greetings,
Kristof

I need a tutorial from you Agoes on pp work as it appears you now have a good workflow. I do like how your creative imagination works. This is worthy of commendation, it appears flawless. My compliments...Danilo

Assalamuallaikum Agoes,

Always respect your creativity. Also salute with your great efforts. Hasil kerja yang menarik sekali. Just to throw my idea..why don't your try the same principal tapi kali ini guna pisang tanduk. Kalau pisang tanduk dia punya kulit lebih tebal dan isi dan texturenya nanti lebih jelas. Anyway...yang ini dan yang sebelumnya memang sudah begitu baik sekali. Tahniah!

TFS,
Geoffrey Bin Ramji
