Poring Over the Picture
One of my favorite breakfast meals
is eggs benedict, so I decided to
cook it up and photograph it.
Instead of using Canadian bacon for
this dish, I used traditional bacon,
since that is how I like to prepare it.
I also added some bright, beautiful
asparagus to the background to
balance the colors of the eggs
benedict in the foreground.
For this photograph, I used a
white, textured tabletop, along
with a white plate and napkin
for a clean look. The white in the
scene also balances with the color
of the poached egg on the plate.The asparagus was blanched
in boiling water to bring out
its bright-green qualities and
add color to the photograph.
