Yeah - why can't I get that shiny on the pics I'm taking for the Dubrovik course?

 


Guess I'll have to look back through those pictures again... I thought you were. 

It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.

Host's note: this post and the immediate responses were moved from the Andrey Dubovic online classes topic.

 

 

Good day, long time reader first time posting here. I'm curious to know if my technique is similar to Andery's. I've never taken any course from him but I was experimenting the last few days trying to get a similar result! Would you say it's similar or different? 

Thanks kindly!

To answer that question, we'll need to see a whole tray of chocolates all showing the same technique and finish level & a shot with one cut open. It does look interesting. Perhaps it truly belongs in the chocolates with a showroom finish thread.   😉

It looks a bit different - looks more like the latest Vincent Vallee instagram post I saw.

Beautiful work. Do you share your technique, or is it a trade secret?

Looks pretty damn good to me! I'm curious to know what you are lighting with that gives that very distinctive pattern on the bonbon?

Just got it this week it's a little light box with leds strips. For shine, leds combined with natural light are best and of course correct cocoa butter tempering is essential too.

It's a work in progress and I do teacher classes but for the minimalist home hobby cooks/chefs maybe in the never future. All my work is handmade at home with the most basic equipment, i think most would be surprised, thank you so much!

Good day,

I had a chance to do another batch of chocolate today with that technique that I've been working on. Here's a shot, these are solar flares, no filters, no effects only light boxes and my phone. ☺

The light and the tripod almost makes it look like a parachute on there.
