While I’ve been on the island I’ve met up with some great folks! One of them, Andy, asked me if I could take some photos of his new born baby. I agreed and we finally setup a day to do the shoot. Andy lives here on Boracay and has been here for over 2 years so far…
This is my 3rd baby shoot and I’ve now got a fairly repeatable technique. Photographing Bali was quite challenging for me. She is only 2 weeks old and getting her attention was not the easiest thing to do. Here are a few images from the shoot…
I like this kind of shot because of the softness of the image.
Bali with her Mother, Angela.
Bali being fed by Angela.
I like the closeness of this photograph.
Little Bali in the arms of her mother.
I took these images with flash and camera in manual mode.
I love the position of Bali's little hands! I wish I had taken this frame slightly lower.
Angela changed Bali's outfit into a newly purchased dress.
Feeding time again...
I love taking these kinds of shots where the mother and father are interacting with their child.
I always like to show how small those little hands are!
I just like this photograph...
Family group shot... Bali was getting tired at this point in the shoot. I processed some of the others in Black & white which also worked.
My last photo...
Hi Gwyn, Some lovely shots – uber cute!
Thanks Paul… In some cases my depth of field was too narrow! I did another baby shoot today and tried smaller apertures. I’ll inspect the results tomorrow. BTW, I’ve now created 5 Lightroom presets I use for the B & W images. So much easier than fidling around…
I’ll be interested to see what you get stopped down a bit. Personally I like the shallow DOF look for this type of photo anyway so I didn’t see anything to complain about.
Hopefully there was enough detail in yesterday’s post to see the slight difference in stopping down a bit… 😉
