Thanks for the useful tips. This is first time I see that kind of diffuser. Must be supersoft.
Thanks Sandra! This shows you can do a lot with so little gear!!! I've got to get me one of those giant 7ft shoot-through Wescott umbrella!
You are so welcome! And yes!! That 7ft Westcott is AMAZING!!
Recently picked one up 🙌
Thank you for such an inspiring and informative video, Sandra. I've been a fan since seeing your course on CreativeLive. Your one-light, "wrong-way round" translucent umbrella with diffusion is pure genius. Your soft "north window light" seems like it would be really forgiving of mature skin texture while still adding direction and definition of form. I'm hoping to adopt it for shooting mature sitters. (Grandparents and such)
I look forward to more from you on the channel. 😍
What an excellent video!!! I’ve been very interested in that strobe and umbrella, I never thought about using it as a shoot through though. I see you also have a huge amount of natural light and white walls and floor. I will watch this over and over, what a gift to watch you work with your clients!!! Thank you so much for making this video😃
I don't do newborn photography, but I learned a lot from this! Great video Sandra
Thank you so much Eli!! 😊
Thank you Westcott and Sandra. Very informative video. Good job.
thank you Sandra!!
Thanks for watching!
This is amazing video. Thanks for sharing and its useful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been waiting on this video from Westcott :D Thank you!
Happy to help! 😁
Thx a lot for this very helpful and inspiring video.
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful!
So happy to hear it was helpful!
Thank you Sandra this is a helpful video - and it’s refreshing to hear from a woman Photographer. One question- it looks like you have a lot of ambient light from the actual windows and the clean white walls. Not every setups is going to have this. So if you were in a fairly dark room or a windowless studio wouldnt you need more than that one light to get the same look? Thanks!
Thanks for sharing such a helpful video ;-) I am not doing newborn photography but starting with family lifestyle. I wonder if the light doesn't have to be just as soft as with newborns, what light and modifier would you recommend for an all purpose light to bring to the clients' homes? Thanks a lot in advance ;-)
Thanks for the tips..what light would you recommend for Mobile photography I currently practice with a doll but would like to eventually offer in home for newborn's and really debating on a light ..godox ad200 pro or maybe a 400 ? I've seen a lot of newborn photographers use the Einstein but it's not so portable
I love everything about this video from you presentation and the simplicity 👏 Thank you Sandra. Just an observation and pls correct me if I am wrong, you placed a V-flat behind the shoot through? the light hits the vflat bounce back through the umbrella and front diffuser right?
We had those V Flats up because we were recording video and the light coming in from the windows was messing with the video!
Thank you for sharing this Sandra. Always enjoy learning from your tutorials. I have a contax645 will it be compatible with the trigger you used here?
Thank you! And honestly, you just never know with a Contax! But if the trigger doesn't work on the hot shoe you can use a sync chord!
Hi I noticed your light meter was back to strobe and face to wall
Is it for special reason?
Hello. What light meter are you using that is able to to test trigger the FJ200? Thanks!
Could this be done with continuous lighting?
thank you for still using FILM❤!
and giving Technique for getting it rigjt in STUDIO..not computer manipulation
Hi Sandra the flash is not bad for the baby? Its not dangerous them?
No, it´s not!
why that baby doll look like Boris :)
Lighting is great indeed, family shots are great, but the posing of the newborn baby alone in the bed is like, REALLY REALLY terrible!
