Easter Eggs – a study in light and egg art

Happy Easter!

It is that time again. When we (well, some people) celebrate the Rising of the Christ. And along with that, goes what I guess is the pagan tradition of the Easter Egg. No matter. It’s a time for the family to goof around and explore some artistic expression.

These are the results. Each of the thumbnails will bring up a larger image.

Some eggs are ‘interesting’, some are messy, some are pretty standard fare. All photos taken in my home studio, using a Canon 50D + Canon 70-200 f/2.8L lens and 600 watts of color-corrected 5600k light, bounced off two Profoto reflectors. Subjects are placed 8′ in front of a black drop.
