Newborn

Recently I had a photo shoot of a new born boy. I love taking pictures of babies. These images were taken in the family's home. For babies I rarely use my studio or studio lighting. I like to come into the child’s home where they are comfortable and relaxed. These images were taken using natural window lighting in the kitchen. Window light is my favorite light to work with. It usually gives just enough light to highlight a given feature while wrapping the rest of the image in darkness, giving a very dramatic element to your image. One of the best things about it is that you can use it anywhere and you do not have to worry about a back drop or how messy the background is. Since you meter for where the light is hitting (your subject) everything else should be black, that is if the window light is the only light present.
