Consideration of colours which work well together when arranging your subject for this type of work is essential, as is the use of appropriate props, such as here where I have used a cast iron trivet to compliment the colour and skin tone of the fruit. It is essential if you are to be both stylist and photographer that you build up a large collection of everyday and more unusual objects with a mind on texture, and colour for various contextual uses.
