Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Niamh's home, she was about 4 weeks old but had been born very premature so she was absolutely tiny. She weighed just over 2 kg at the time.

Time

This was taken around midday. Indoors.

Lighting

I was using natural light available in the house, the bedroom had a southern facing aspect and we set up in that room.

Equipment

I was using a Canon 70D and a 24-70mm lens.

Inspiration

This was my first ever newborn shoot and with a new born so tiny, quite frankly, I was terrified. I love newborn and aged hands, they tell a story all of their own.

Editing

Only a little, converting the image to lose a lot of the colour I found very beautiful.

In my camera bag

I normally have 2 Canon Cameras, now incudes a 5D MkIV, 24-70mm, 50mm 1.4 (which is the most fabulous versatile lens which I would not be without - ever), 70-200mm, 18-24mm. 2 spare batteries, a speed light, transmitters, 4 memory cards. Hand cream and lipgloss! Its also the most fabulous camera bag ever 'Evermore' from House of Flynn!

Feedback

Take time, babies have their own agenda, there is no rush.
