Gregory Reid, Photographer, New York

Description

This still life photograph by Gregory Reid features a cracked white egg positioned centrally against a vibrant, saturated deep blue background. A delicate white daisy with a yellow center and a small green clover stem emerge from the crack at the top of the egg. A single small fragment of the eggshell clings to the side alongside dripping liquid, catching high-contrast lighting. The entire subject is set upon a highly reflective glossy surface, creating a distinct vertical mirror image of the egg and flower below. The composition uses hard directional lighting to cast crisp shadows and highlights across the smooth white surface of the shell.
