p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · First attempt at maternity photography


Hi !
I made some pictures of friends 2 days ago, inside and outside their house. Without access to external flashes etc, we used what was available (a floor standing halogen lamp and weak window light) Therefore most of the inside pictures are at an effective ISO of 1600-3200 after pushing exposure in Lightroom.

Comments and criticism are most welcome.

regards Thomas

though these aren't my cup of tea typically, I still like these images. You really do see how truly happy they are and excited that they are expecting. the images convey enough emotion for me to appreciate them.

You've capture a happy couple here.

But unfortunately, from an image only stand point, I'm not a fan. The images tend to be mostly very flat in lighitng, and quite grainy - almost like you shot them at super high ISO despite the seemingly ample light. The crops are a little off, and the image with the candles is... odd?

#9 is nice, and #13 would look good in a B&W, and if you could see her face, but it's lost behind her hair.

The good news, again, is the couple is super happy. And I'm sure their happy to have these images. She also seems VERY comfortable (allowing you to shoot her in her most vulnerable - both pregnant, but also in lingerie).

Thanks for your feedback nextelbuddy and prettym1k3. IMO, I agree that the images does not look that good with respect to light/colors/grain. Light is low. The ISO is high (effectively 1600-3200 in several indoor pictures), and the shutter speed is low (1/30). The outside images are at iso 400-800 with some fill from the built-in camera flash. The couple is happy with the result

Veedotcom, these are taken with a Fuji XE-1 /18-55 IS
