Location
this photo was taken at the baby's house.Time
all my newborn shoot are scheduled for the morning when the babies are less frustrated and ready to relax.Lighting
I use a softbox on my light and I keep it away and very low to give softness to my object.Equipment
this was taken with a Canon 5D mark III, 24-105mm Canon, and Bowens 400 for the lighting.Inspiration
newborn photos are my favourite to take, I wanted to show the support that the parents give to their children since day one, couldn't think of a better way than holding the baby together!Editing
I did darken the black area to eliminate any blemish in the background and to give a nice contract, in addition to converting it to B&W of course.In my camera bag
My 50mm Canon F/1.4 never leaves my bag, it's one of my favorite lenses ever. I use 5D mark III body, 70-200mm Canon f/2.8, and 24-105mm f/4 Canon. I don't like hot shoe flash, if the natural light isn't enough I use my reflector, but rarely so.Feedback
the safety of the baby is a priority. the baby in this photo was never held up, instead, I position the newborn on the beanbag safely, with a black sheet underneath, then I ask the parent to place their hand on her back. very simple and that was makes it beautiful. Always look for simplicity!
