Initially when I thought about the egg, I wanted to use some harsh lighting to create a more interesting composition. However, I felt that even with harsh lighting, it didn't make the egg look very interesting so I then thought about how I would make the egg the focal point or draw the most attention to it. I picked it up and held it between my fingers which made is seem like I was handling it with care/inspecting it so I thought I should try taking the photo of the egg in this fashion. I didn't want anything distracting in the background so I initially chose my dark carpet as the background and photographed it so it would have a consist and dark texture. However, the texture f the carpet was a bit distracting so I then used my white wall as the background. I took a number of photos holding the egg at slighting different angles so the shadow of my fingers were different in each picture. I chose this photo because of the minimal amount of shadow on the egg which made it look the cleanest and also because my wrist was in the pictures. In other photos the bottom of the frame awkwardly cut off right above my wrist which make it seem like the base of my hand was spreading outwards and was unnatural.
