+1 @ remember your message.
The challenge here is that your primary message (newborn) brings a very diminutive amount of mass to the weighting / balance. You may want to choose a different perspective / focal length and angle(s).
+1 @ an angle change to her hand changes (lessens) the amount of mass she brings to the balance.
I'm really diggin' the concept of this shot ... pretty killer, imo.
Now, you just have to think it through at how to balance / weight those relationships. You have things like scale & mass, tonal values & contrast and focus / blur to help you balance / harmonize / contrast those relationships.
Fortunately, you likely have re-shoot options for this one. In your head, pull the pieces apart, then re-assemble them to get the relationships how you want them. You know the tools in your toolbox, now it's time to sculpt with mindset of fine craftsmanship.
I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution of this one ... pretty powerful stuff @ diamond in the rough....Show more →
The problem with her hand was the angle was coming from - definitely should have brought her around the other side, but we were rockin' and rolling while the baby was being cooperative.
The good news is that I told them I'd coming over for reshoots if I didn't feel something was up to snuff. This is only my second time doing this, so I am learning more and more each crack at it.
When I go back I am thinking that I'll have this shot set up and captured in less than ten minutes, depending on infant demeanor.
I know the parents would be THRILLED with the OP, but I am looking for great and not good.
Thanks guys, I'll post an update when that goes down.
