If you like to do studio photography, have some fun experimenting with various types of chocolate forms. I ordered this high heeled woman's shoe online for my new greeting card line (for a Valentine's Day card), and I created this little set. The candies inside the shoe were part of the purchase, but then I added rose petals and made the reflection digitally. The red spot light in the background, also, was a digital embellishment. When doing studio work, every detail is important. For example, the surface of the chocolate had some small imperfections in it, so I used the clone tool and healing brush in Photoshop to smooth them out. Chocolate melts, so you must do this in a cool environment.
The lighting I used for the chocolate shoe was simply diffused daylight. I photogaphed it on black velvet on my back porch.
