One of the hardest parts of breakfast is portability. We as a society today, don’t have time to sit down and enjoy a meal, unless it is part of special occasion. Breakfast more than any other meal is skipped or rushed. If you can’t break the mold, then why not make the best of a bad situation. Presenting… the breakfast burrito.
What better way to enjoy a high calorie meal, on the go while sitting down? This beast is filled with sausage, eggs, cheese and both red and green peppers. There are many like it, but the way you create your own lets you decide what kind of day you are about to have. Fall asleep by noon at work, or I just don’t care anymore. Either way, you’ll be ready for a breakfast fit for an olympic swimmer.
When lighting this lighting these burritos, we started with a point light light source from the back left. This gave some direction, but most importantly added highlights on all the saucy goodness on the back burrito. We then added a fill from the front to help balance out the shadows. But the hero came from the front piece. We already had some light on it from the point light source and the fill. But we needed more. So we put a large soft light source from the right to get some incidence.
