My friend and colleague Julian has become a father on 13.11.2010 and has asked me a few pictures of his son Charlie to make. "Whew ....", I thought to myself! So far my limited "models" to adults, but babies are indeed people somewhere:) so it should be feasible.
I have therefore taken the internet a couple of inspiration (by the way is always a great idea), loaded my camera batteries and I opened with a few white sheets under her arm one afternoon at his home. We thought in the familiar environment is probably the most comfortable for the little ones, and so was the living room to the photo studio rebuilt.
I'm not a fan of classic studio pictures, so I served as light sources, in addition to daylight, mainly a site lamp with an energy-saving daylight lamp to complement and brighten. The performance of this lamp is impressive, and the color temperature is much more natural than conventional halogen lamps. I've also thought that flashes for the little ones may be less pleasant than a steady light. As a lens I mainly used my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and the aperture between f/3.2 and the maximum value varies.
Besides all the technical nonsense, the most important thing about baby pictures is probably the baby. The little rascals have their own head and can command or bad conduct. When a baby in a bad mood is gone, all the preparations notwithstanding. Charlie, however, had dazzling humor and held out for over an hour.
I try to capture intimate moments between the young parents and their baby, their joy and pride. The most important lesson from my first baby shoot is to maintain peace and relaxation and to take a long time. A few sample photos I've added below!
