The Test Shoot

Indigo’s friend and client Jean Baptiste Degez was recently presented with the challenge of photographing chocolate for a well-known, European Chocolate Company. The challenge was to shoot the chocolate as chocolate.

Due to the extreme difficulty of photographing chocolate on photo shoots, the ever-loved treat is often substituted with a substance significantly easier to work with and able to fare much better under the heat of extreme lighting.

Nevertheless, Baptiste was astoundingly successful in shooting the melty challenge in its true form. In fact, the images came out so well Baptiste has been hired to photograph for the chocolate company’s advertising campaign.

But the chocolate will stay on the shelf, in accordance with company standard, Baptiste will be using the chocolate’s well-behaved imposter while photographing rather than the real thing, which should be a piece of cake
