Just recently I started getting into Conceptual photography. I get a lot of my inspiration from the Modernist Cuisine as well as a Photographer I just recently discovered, Michael Crichton.

The flowers in this image are all edible. The orange flowers are calendulas and the little white flowers are cilantro flowers. They both are great for salads, to be used as garnishes, or even tea!

To capture this image I hot glued all of the flowers onto a foam ball. I then created a foam stand to stick the cone in so that it would stay upright. I used a tripod and a remote to help me take this photograph so that I was better able to pour the chocolate syrup. For my light source, I used two softboxes.
