Alyssa Alia Malanga Food Stylist

This image was created surprisingly quickly. One great food stylist: Alyssa wanted an image for a Christmas card. We sat down together and came up with an idea. I sketched it out and added notes as we talked. We went shopping (in the studio prop closet) and the next day we went to work. Alyssa brought in the frosted cranberries and holly, I found the background (in the same prop closet) she shaved the white chocolate, made the mousse and combined it all into the final recipe. All that was left to do was for me to choose a high angle with my favorite 55mm micro Nikkor lens which becomes wide-ish when used up close, light from behind with an optical spot strobe and finally add a big broad light off the ceiling. Happy holidays!
