It's always nice to find a surprise. In the kitchen, My Lovely Assistant is a whizz. I often find myself there keeping an eye on her wonderful creations. During the preparation for one of her treats, she had halved some strawberries. Upon further inspection, I saw that the center of one strawberry looked just like a heart. I quickly grabbed the camera and shot away. The photograph was taken at f/4, 1/30sec, ISO 1000 at 60mm. Rather than use a flash, I used a white cardboard to reflect the kitchen lights towards the strawberry. To keep the strawberry still, I propped it up with a smaller strawberry. This way my model doesn't move, but the prop remains small enough to not be seen in my final photograph. Just a couple tricks of the trade.
