This is the first shoot from my re-vamped garage/studio. Although the walls are plastered and painted white, I used a white cotton back drop with three lights (one each side and one floor light ) facing the BG.
My main light was a 120cm Octagonal Soft box that fits directly onto my Bowens via a speed ring.
My secondary light was a 90cm square Soft box and again fits directly onto my Bowens.
I placed a Tri-Fold reflector in front of the subject for a tad of infill.
Baby would not sit still and would not look at the camera, he just did not want to be there full stop :shake:
The little girl in glasses was a bit of a fidget so her sister put her arm around her to keep it a tight group.
Have left a big space top and sides because they want a canvas wrap-around 24 x 20
I linked my camera up to my HD monitor and the parents could see instant results. Would I do baby pics again .. :shrug: mmm well maybe.
Total studio time was about quarter of an hour.
Not perfect but this was the best I could do under the circumstances.
Any comments would be most welcome, especially on how to improve a shot like this.

I wanted the negative points so don't be sorry. I can't improve on the positive points, only the neg ones.
