This picture was shot from a far distance but zoomed in. The picture was taken on the same plane, same level as the apple. The way the photo was taken is that the background is interesting and in some ways contrasts the subject but doesn't grab the audiences attention first. Another point, the background isn't lit which doesn't distract the audience while there is key lighting directed at the subject. We can figure this out by the white glare being reflected off the apple and the shadow that the apple casts on the right side.
