Well, it is back to school for me. New classes, new assignments. Our first assignment for Chuck's Advertising Photography class was to shoot dessert. I shot it once before this shot, and used a fruit tart, but it did not come out how I wanted, so this is a second attempt. I struggle with what to shoot. I feel like I spend so much time thinking of a good setup and composition, that I am not able to spend the time on lighting as I would like. I miss the perks of having a stylist! I shot it using the Phase One digital back on a Hasselblad. I wanted the shot to be more of a close-up on the candy, but I ran into the problem of not having the right lens.
