Alex Lau, Photographer, New York

Description

This food photography piece by Alex Lau captures an overhead, close-up shot of two eggs Benedict halves served on toasted English muffins. Each muffin is topped with sliced ham, a poached egg smothered in creamy hollandaise sauce, and a dusting of chives and paprika. A silver fork and knife slice into the yolk of the top-left egg, causing the bright orange liquid to spill onto the plate. A generous side of fresh green arugula sits on the right side of the light green ceramic plate. The plate rests on a textured woven placemat under warm natural light.
