Pregnancy Portraits - 10/52 - Curves
Unexpected photo session today with one of my wife's best girlfriends. Thank you ladies (and boy) for this one - was a good bit of fun and for sure a new experience: turning the normal lighting and posing rules around to highlight all the forms one usually tries to hide ;-) It came in quiet handy that she has years of yoga experience - rarely I have seen such a fluently moving seven month pregnant woman. All the best for the expecting mom...
Strobist: One DX 4 Elinchrom from camera right through a strip box. Well, and even if this is not visible on this picture - this really helped to expose her face and baby belly equally while keeping the background fairly dark. Shot on a fashion grey seamless paper background. Light post edit to increase contrasts and heighten color temperature.
