Where to place your light during a newborn photoshoot? What is the most flattering to a face?
In this video I will show where I place my light during two newborn sessions and I will explain where (I think) it's the most flattering to place your light. This can be applied to baby, children and portrait photography as well! I hop you like the video.
Here's some of the items I use:
- camera Nikon D750
- lens Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8
- softbox Westcott 50 inch Recessed Front Apollo JS
- speedlight Godox Speedlite V860II Nikon X-PRO Duo kit
- Round backdrop stand Paloma Schell Classic Stand palomaschellshop.com/
- vinyl backdrops www.studiobackdrops.eu
- floormat white distressed wood www.shopbackdrop.com/
- cake smash bathtub www.newbornprops.eu
- Christmas backdrop www.whosedrop.com
- vlog camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II compact camera
I'm a full-time photographer in the Netherlands and I'm planning on showing you a but more of my life as a photographer. Are you interested in photography? Are you looking for a free-online Photography course? Do you want to see the inside of a Photo Studio? Then please, watch my videos and subscribe to my channel!
I'm planning on sharing videos in which I show you my typical work-week as a photographer. I will give you tips & tricks concerning photography, photo shoots, backdrops, studio props, camera settings (iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance), photoshoot outfits, photoshoot make-up etc.
Bedankt voor het kijken! Ik ben een full-time fotograaf in Nederland en ik wil je graag iets meer laten zien over mijn werk als fotograaf. Wil je meer weten over (digitale) fotografie? Wil je weten hoe een fotostudio er van binnen uitziet? Ben je op zoek naar een gratis online cursus fotografie? Kijk dan mijn videos en abonneer je op mijn kanaal. Ik zal videos maken over camera instellingen (iso, sluitertijd, diafragma, wit-balans), studio achtergronden, fotoshoot outfits, fotoshoot make-up enz.
IMPORTANT
If you are interested in photographing newborn babies yourself I would highly recommend you to first learn about photography in general. Master you camera, photograph in the Manual mode, learn about aperture, iso, shutter speed, white balance, light and composition. Take photos of your friends (adults or very patient older kids) and make sure you don't have to think about your camera anymore when photographing babies. Learn about editing as well. Please, don't experiment photographing Newborn babies without training. Attend a workshop by an experienced and professional photographer with an expertise in Newborn Photography. Learn about the anatomy of babies and invest in good quality cameras, lenses and props. Babies are extremely vulnerable and small and their safety and comfort should be your highest priority. Start with simple poses and make sure you know and understand that many 'pinterest poses' are composites. Please, don't try this at home. If you want beautiful photos of your own Newborn Baby, I highly recommend you to hire a professional and experienced photographer who is trained and specialised in Newborn Photography.

Sign up for as many newborn facebook accounts as you can, women on there are extremely helpful. They will answer everything for you. go to Newborn Posing Tips & Tricks Sunny Melon on FB, very very helpful. I've only been shooting newborns for a couple of years & there is so much to learn. & money gets very tight, & these fb sites can help you with tips for less expensive props, gadgets, I wish I had known about them when I first started shooting. I could have save myself some money. Hope this helps.

I'm so confused! I see the softies (is that the correct term?) light source, but it appears that light is coming from the camera flash. Are you using both?
