I do not photograph babies often, but when my brother and sister-in-law asked me to photograph my nephew, of course I said yes. My sister-in-law is a big reader and wanted to incorporate books into the photos.
For this photo, I knew I didn’t need much for lighting or “the set”.
We used a white sheet for the backdrop, a coffee table and couch as the staging area and my lights consisted of a SB-800 with 2 reflectors and another SB-800 through a small softbox. Simple and effective.
I’m super excited to process the photos. They’re going to come out great!
