Location
In the photo studio from my brother Roger Michel Fichmann in Thalwil, Switzerland.Time
03.00h pmLighting
In the studio we had a great equipment. The difficulty was, a baby in this age does not stay still where it should be. So I used a simple shoe mount flash, flashed indirectly.Equipment

It was a rainy sunday and I badly needed a self portrait for a publication in a magazine. I asked my brother who is a photographer too to make some photos in his studio. We went into the studio the afternoon with the whole family. We had a lot of fun. Our two sons have started to monkeying around and playing with the pasta. I spontaneously made ??some photos. At home when I viewed the photos I got the idea with the cook who stands in the boiling pot.Editing
Yes, it's a composing. Photographed in the studio is just the baby with the pasta and the plush toys in front of a gray background. I used Lightroom to edit the RAW files. In photoshop everything else has been inserted, background, boiling pot, soup, wooden spoon... I work with different layers and masks. Finally a vignetting to highlight the main motive.In my camera bag

Children in this age have their own head. They are old enough to run itself but still too young to follow the instructions. I prefer to make snapshots when they playing outside that gives the most natural photos. In the studio I recommend to offer something to play what the child has never seen before. Something new always aroused the interest of a child or something that fascinates like soap bubbles. Then you have good chances to get the attention and a gleam in the eyes of the children.
