I was just courious about what inspired this shoot? As a Med Lab Tech, and someone who has a strong background in Microbiology, black in an egg is always a sure sign of Salmonella! This has given me food for thought. There are other things in a lab that could be projects for me and something I know well. I would just have to work on the lighting. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Gina, I was thinking about ‘toxicity’ and the health of the planet. Another shot I did in the series (but we didn’t video) was this one which was to represent a toxic oil spill. https://karltaylorportfolio.com/objects/u8n31p4fajlrgvfxp9fkqazcqjg12x
