Testing Liquid and Lighting for Still Life Photo: Toxic Egg
For a shoot like this, it’s all about testing, testing and testing some more before the actual final shoot.
In this, the third part of the Toxic Egg still life shoot, Karl undertakes various tests to ensure everything is absolutely perfect before shooting. This includes testing boiling the eggs, the viscosity of the liquid in the egg and shaping the eggshell.
Additionally, Karl also finalises his composition and explains further adjustments and additions to the lighting setup.

AWESOME! ❤ BEAUTIFUL! ❤ Thank YOU very much 😁
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
