A bowl of fruit is already an object. You can't objectify it, you can merely portray it as an object. People are more than their physical selves. If you choose to photograph or otherwise portray them in such a way that nothing more is communicated about them than their bodies, if you ignore or choose not to tell us something of their personality, their "soul", their "spirit", then you objectify them. I'm not saying that objectification is necessarily bad; but that in my mind is what it's about.
Seems to me that any portrayal of someone/thing is an objectification. William Robb
