Our Jack’s first photoshoot
By nealejames | April 8, 2008
You would have rightly expected us to be champing at the bit to pop our boy Jack (Baby Breathe) into the studio for his first official shoot. Arguably one of the best times to photograph a baby is in his or her first few weeks of life, when they’re floppy and retaining their foetal position. They’re also quite relaxed about the whole thing at this age, especially if they are post feed. I’m not expecting a very young baby to photograph wide eyed and smiling, their real emotions influence a shoot at this age; sleep, some tears even. Features also play a strong part in a baby shoot; little feet, little hands, little ears. I usually prefer to keep shoots fairly short at this age. We are using studio flash, so I keep a watchful eye on how baby reacts to short bursts of visually stimulating light. Here are a few shots from Jack’s shoot.
