This particular Christmas photo shoot for Mercato was in fact executed along side the food photography done for Cold Storage's Christmas edition as detailed in the previous post. Some items have to be reused for both these publications, so it was just a simple matter of changing props and setting.
Could I have done it any better? Perhaps, but as my very first major food photography commercial project, I have to say, I have met my expectations, though I feel I could have done much better.
