Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Our first assignment after being gone for three months was dessert.  Since I tend to do more high contrast photographs I wanted to try something different.  I also wanted to use hard lighting so I came up with chocolate covered strawberries.  I dipped the strawberries myself in chocolate and then drizzled some white chocolate over one.  I wanted chocolate drizzle on my plate too so I asked a fellow classmate that was on a food photography based internship what the best way to do it was.  I was told that if I mixed a little water with chocolate syrup it would make the syrup smoother to drizzle across the plate, it worked great.  I also wanted the plate to look like it was one a sea of chocolate so I used some brown silk fabric to give that effect.
