The baby bump.
-
my friend wants me to take pics of his wifes baby bump next week and shes up for it too. i havent done anything likr this b4 and although i have a few ideas i would appreciate any ideas anyone might have to help me along. so anyone who wants to post some shots of baby bumps please feel free to share, thanks all.
There’s big interest in “Bump Shots” though they don’t appeal to me at all. Having said that, I’ve seen some great ones! 50mm F1.8 can be useful lens here, allowing nice blurred backgrounds. I’ve seen some artistic use of veils worn as sarongs. I remember a photographer telling me a while back about an expectant mum being in tears because her bump was square and didn’t look good! Here’s a link might be of interest http://susancollinsphotography.com/2009/05/pregnancy-sneak-peek/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
Susan was a classmate a few years ago on HND Photography. She’s big into family photography. I don’t know if there are any more bump shots on her website, have a rummage about and see. The only other thing I can suggest is to google pregnancy shots for more advice.
Maybe you could try Back-lit soft focus type shots, using window light?

Brian,

Baby bumps are good fun to do. there a lots of great ideas online for this. I’ve seen the bumps side on with siblings giving them hugs and some with the bump and the little new born baby shoes resting on top. Simple clothing is best and they look great in B&W. some bumps aren’t as pretty as others but you can work on different angles to get the best results. mum holding and looking down on her bump taken from a little height is a lovely one. A good resource I’ve found is groups on flickr totally dedicated to posing bump portraits.
Enjoy
:)
