Chocolate Chip Cookies, by Athena Constantinou

A simple photo title for a simple food. Chocolate chip cookies need no special introduction and we all know how tasty they are. And this is what I wanted to accomplish on this photo; to expose the ingredients and the taste of a simple chocolate chip cookie with a simple yet dramatic photo. Choosing a dark background, a vintage chopping board, an old cloth and again natural light is what I believe, helped me to achieve the outcome.
