Rim light

Recently I find myself trying more and more different kind of lighting pattern I’d like to learn and trying them at our small studio. During last week all we shoot is food so this time you’ll get a nice apple:

The apple is being lit by one umbrella dressed Speedlight to the right of the camera and another one zoomed out to 85 mm to the back left to produce this nice rim effect on the left. Water droplets just made the effect more pronounced.
