Few days ago we visited our friends, Anya and Dima, who had a baby girl three months ago. Working in my niche market, I do not specialize in family portraiture nor advertise such service. With all the equipment and experience, however, it was impossible to refuse their kind and excited request for my service. This was my first baby portraiture session… filled with joy and life.
Setup was shifting from comprehensive studio lighting to minimalistic and dim. In the first outtake above, my vision was that of a contrast between masculine and feminine beauty, fused into a tender and vulnerable beginning. Blessings!
