This is an early photograph by Daniel Gendre. In the 70s, he worked in different studios in London assisting masters of that time. On weekends, he was practicing in the studio alone mostly doing stilllives. This photo, taken with a 8x10inch camera, is the result of hours of patient work. In the egg-yellow we can see the reflection of a window, achieved by sticking black tape on the soft main light which reflects on the egg. This photo was used for the cover of a Kodak Film Company annual report , as well as at many exhibitions.
