One Desire

It's a new technique (basically setting the camera at a slow shutter speed and deftly twisting the zoom ring as it opens and shuts) I'm perfecting to manually create what photoshop does in 1 second and with considerably less reshooting. (Because I have purist leanings)

I thought it would be a perfect technique to go with the mountain pile of chocolates...in my head I picture the scene as if I had just walked into the production area and saw that heap...the instantaneous zooming in and desire to gobble them up before self-control kicks in and overrides everything.

The chocolates in this series were gracefully provided by Joel Whittaker and Adele Paker's chocolate company Wild About You
