Shape & Light

I had the chance to do a maternity shoot for some friends of mine. I wanted to try a couple of different shots to see how many looks we could get to illustrate shape using light. The setting was indoors so I had a creamy white wall at my disposal. I really like how the silhouettes turned out. It really brings out the glory of the baby bump.

Lucas is as fit as a fiddle. I told him to push his belly out and nothing happened. So we had to improvise. Fortunately a balloon was kicking around. 😎

And one of my favourite shots from the shoot was this lighting style here. I wanted to bring out the “pregnant glow” that mothers have. This shot made use of a gold reflector on the floor with a flash bounced into it. It’s an awesome technique for expecting mothers and for brides.
