Creative Baby Portrait Photography
This image was inspired by Jill Greenberg‘s crying baby series. Apart from removing my hand from the image no major digital re-touching was required for the image. Lighting for the HDR (high dynamic range) photography look usually requires a big fill light. I use a large parabolic umbrella as the fill.
Screen capture from Phocus RAW conversion software.
To create this image 5 lights were used :
- Hensel Compact 1200 w/2m Parabolic umbrella used as a massive diffused fill light.
- Hensel 1200W w/ beauty dish as a top hair light.
- 2x Elinchrom strobe heads w/ Photobasics strip softbox powered by Elinchrom Digital RX 2400 power pack.
- Broncolor Mobil w/mobilite head and snoot & grid. Battery powered pack.
