Yogurt Melts

Let's just say they sorta taste like astronaut ice cream that one would find while waiting in line at Fry's Electronics. Not that I don't like astronaut ice cream or anything like that, I'm just saying they have the same taste/texture.

 

In keeping with the theme of the melt, I wanted to capture them in a sort of dreamy, melty state. This required that I restrict the light sources using various modifiers for the background and rim light. Main lighting would be provided by a single speedlight in a shoot through umbrella.
