Setup for chocolate
2 light setup for this shot - one rear light for the background hearts, and one overhead main light to illuminate the chocolates. The overhead light had a 10 degree grid & improvised snoot (approx 1.5cm aperture) to restrict light area hitting the choc. The background was trickiest to get right - the initial flash output from the SF58 was not uniform (providing a central hotspot - not surprising, since my use here is not usual) so zooming the head to max setting of 105mm and adding lots of diffusion cloth between the head and the gel (6 layers of Rosco 036 pink) was a solution. Flashes triggered by radio.
