I was working on a personal project photographing cupcakes and my initial idea was to capture the subject in light mood. I picked my background and props based on what my goal was, but then of course I had to play around and see how do they look like on dark background? How dramatic does that change the mood of final image?

The food is exactly the same in both light and dark scenarios, even the light is the same (it’s photographed in studio with softbox and scrim on left side with the bounce on the right side), however the mood changed dramatically.
