p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Maternity at home (10 photos)


So, my best friend and his wife are expecting twins. I've shared some photos of them throughout the process, as I've photographed every step for them. She is a very petite woman, and the twins are taking a huge toll. They were supposed to be December babies but at this point, I don't doubt they'll be here before the end of the month or first week of November. I did a photoshoot early on, and we wanted to do something different and now showing the big belly.
I had a 1Dx and 200mm f/2L IS from CPS and we decided it was a great time to put both to use. Unfortunately, her condition is worse than I thought and we decided not to leave the house at all. So the 200mm didn't get used, but that didn't mean we couldn't take photos.
What ended up happening was a DIY home studio in their home, using the bright sunlight coming in through the glass doors to light the background, diffused with very high tech bed sheets.
I combined that with my flash and umbrella kit I had brought to use outdoors for fill light, and some Photoshop...and voila.
I'm very pleased with these, as it's my first time using frequency separation extensively. This is not a paid shoot, but still, I wanted to do the best I could. I delivered 28 photos, doubled as color and B/W versions. Here's a mix of my favorites - please do offer C&C as I know I need it.

Thanks for looking.

You got some good captures, and I'm sure they will be happy with them.

What I like...
#1 good expressions and connection between them
#2 moments of tenderness caught well


Three things that I don't care for.
#1 The lighting is spread everywhere. I would like to see some more falloff.
#2 The processing is a bit overdone for my taste, (smoothing).
#3 white balance seems to not match in a few pics, (some whites look blue).

I liike #10 a lot. In #2 it looks like she's wiping her nose lol. The light is a bit flat. She has a very challenging nose to photograph, and in most of them you did a good job minimizing it.
