Photographing Candy

It may seem odd, but I spend a lot of time photographing chocolate. That’s because one of my other projects is Chocablog - The Chocolate Blog.

That’s why I was particualrly interested to see this post by Cybele over at Candy Blog with some insights into her home studio.

Of course, photographing sweets may seem fairly niche, but you can use a similar setup if you’re photographing anything on this scale. And you don’t need to go to the lengths Cybele has to produce good results. The important things to concentrate on are good lighting, a steady camera and a clean background.
