paige has been asking for real pregnant pictures for like a month+ and it was starting to get way more urgent than just a standard honey-do list item. i felt like i'd gotten some really good photos of her, but she (reasonably so) wanted to do a real shoot so she could do her hair, not wear glasses, etc.
white on white was the main goal, but we also brought a couple outfits cos when you're all set up, it's a very small use of time to do a costume change vs how long it takes to set up the lighting initially.
i had my new ring flash on the camera and triggered two other flashes via infrared. the IR wasn't 100% reliable because the ring covered up the master flash, but for the most part it was no problem. camera left is about 1/2 power through an umbrella, camera right is a bare flash at 1/64 to give some edge highlights.
not bad for pretty much my first ever studio shoot. and i've never even used two flashes, let alone three. set the f/stop from your ambient, adjust power on the off-camera flashes as necessary. hopefully more of this kind of thing to come.
i give notes and commentary on all of my photos in the comments section. click thegreenpost title to show that photo with my comments below. please add your own comments or critiques and thanks for checking in! -phil
Wow. What stunningly beautiful photographs! Especially the top two (okay, the black & white). Can't wait to meet that (not so little anymore) bean!
