Colour Theory in foodColour theory in food photography/advertisement is important, to draw in the viewer and compliment the food/drink being advertised. Health & SafetyThe studio is a room filled with equipment, which makes it more hazardous to tripping over or injury while using the equipment.

Pinterest/InspirationsTo gain some inspiration I took to Pinterest to find some ideas, my colour scheme was harmonious colouring for food photography therefore I searched for some harmonious colouring.
CompositionSomething I needed to decide before I shot my images, is how I wanted my focal points and I needed to decide where my items would be placed as well as angle of the camera. I decided I wanted a head on shot, and wanted to use the golden triangle.
My ImagesMy images have turned out perfectly, I captured the images I wanted adjusting certain aspects of different images such as adjusting how much light gets through or placement of objects. I have overall achieved my harmonious colour scheme, by using the yellow/gold ball ball on the platter the orange cinnamon stick and and the red ball balls dangling above.
Image NO.1- In this image I captured you can clearly see the hot chocolate is the main focal point, I tried to get enough light so I could get a highlight on the glass which was achieved. The positioning of the red ball balls weren't how I pictured them, I wanted depth to be captured by the ball ball in the back being just behind the other sparkly ball ball which I rectified in the next images. Image NO.3- This image corrects the ball ball issue that I had in the previous picture, although due to movement of the ball ball there is some motion blur. Other parts of the image have not been adjusted, although I could've improved this image by moving the placement of the hot chocolate and making a few tiny tweaks. Image NO.4- As you can see, this is one of my final images I have adjusted the positioning of the hot chocolate and It has made a huge improvement. I also added some detail by adding a sprinkle of chocolate powder on the cream, small detail but adds a lot to the image. The red ball balls are perfectly placed, and haven't been affect by motion I am very happy overall with the aesthetic of the image. This is how I set up my scene, I needed assistance to hold up the red ball balls so I had aid from one of my classmates. The fairy lights were attached to a stand which I strung over the background and I used a red background for the Christmas theme.
EditsIn this edit for my product photography, making the image more darker was my main priority for this I obviously adjusted the exposure. I wanted to give the image a bit more of a Christmas advert aesthetic and I think the image looks far better I also photoshopped the reflection of the setup out of the front ball ball as the camera and I were visible.
