My fren had booked me to take pics for her baby months before her little bundle of joy arrives... Without hesistation, i agreed & remembered this promised made. I borrowed a 50mm lens from Wei, hoping to create some nice shots, as this lens has an aperture of F1.8. Today shall be another milestone in my 1 year of continuous practice & experimenting wif different genres.
When i arrived at YP's house, baby Yu Xuan was sound asleep... So we spent the time catching up on our lives since we had not met up for a year! Finally Yu Xuan woke up & the confinement lady brought her out to say hello! haha! YP told her daugh, this is 'jie jie'... i turned to look at my fren, ''eh... i'm not jie jie, i'm yi yi lah!", wahaha! Even the aunty dun believe me & YP are same age LOL.
Woo! Better quickly grab the opportunity to take pics now, before baby goes back to LaLa Land... As the house was pretty dim, i suggested to make use of the natural light from the door... so we layed a mattress in the living room for the shoot. Baby have nice long fingers & feet... so i tried to take a few close-up shots. Baby has veri strong legs too & when she was layed on the mattress, she started to kick her little feets! haha! Tricky shots... Then, i got YP to sit on a stool & let baby's little fingers hold on to her hand... As the saying, " a picture speaks a thousand words", I like how such shots evokes emotions... displaying the bond between mom & baby.
At the point of photoshoot, baby Yu Xuan is only 3 weeks old! Shall wish her Happy 1st Month in advance & may she grow up healthily!
In fact, i still have many ideas but need the right natural lighting & some props + space. Space was indeed a constraint today. Besides wildlife, i tink taking pics of babies & kids are the hardest as they would not be able to keep still! But there's alot of joy in doing such photos & it really makes my day ^o^
P.S: Thanks again buddy! Without the 50mm lens, i doubt i can create such nice shots!
