Easter eggs inspiration
A photography exercise with quail eggs turned into my favourite creative little project of this month (so far).
I remember seeing quail eggs in supermarket years ago, when I lived in Birmingham and had no interest in food photography.
A while back I started noticing the chocolate mini eggs in stores, and thought about baking something with them, so I grabbed a bag and threw it in the shopping cart. A few hours later, having obliterated every single one of them (not by baking with them, thank you very much!) I found myself thinking of tiny, beautiful quail eggs. A day later, our food supplier delivered a small box of them to our coffee shop.
