This image was inspired by the works of 17th century painters like Sanchez Cotan,Bartolomeo Bimbi, Pieter Claesz, and Louise Moillon
In this time period fruit and veg was hung up in the pantry to stop it from going bad so quickly so many still life paintings of this period would have hanging vegetables and fruit in them.
Image taken with a Nikon D90 using a 35-70 Nikkor lens the lighting was a single Bowens studio light ( Only one light source was ever present in a 17th century Bodegon style painting) with a black background I also used a 09 ND filter to further blacken the background area.
