Does anyone have experience with photographing chocolate ? I photograph my own pieces and they look pretty good, but I would love to get my photos looking drop dead gorgeous so I can do a book…Continue

"I work with a professional photographer for our photos. He uses diffused lighting from various angles. It takes about 2-3 hours to get set-up, but once the lighting is right, the results are great. Good luck."

"There are no recommended standard angles for food or for the number of light sources. Often, there is a very large softbox (diffused light source) which is designed to mimic a natural (i.e., sun coming through a high north window). Lights are…"

My Chocolate Covered World

I love to make fancy chocolate decorations and just for fun, I started experimenting with the creative side of chocolate, playing around with artists techniques and applying them to chocolate, then taking my creations to parties, giving them as gifts etc.

I'm a professional videographer, and decided to start a chocolate youtube channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/thechocolateaddict and make silly instructional videos of my discoveries called The Chocolate Addict. I got a great response and a few of my videos got featured on youtube.

This lead to making instructional chocolate decorating DVDs ( I have 2 ) and well, I guess the rest is history.
