So the sister of the sister asked me to shoot her pregnant sister. Of course we where chatting about other things and the time as well and she kinda forgot to tell me her sister is about 9.5 months pregnant. So obviously, shooting her outside is pretty much impossible (most of my work is natural light) (also studio is booked solid till end of Feb)
So some major brain storming took place in my head (it hurt) and I came up with my bedroom and downstairs.
She wants some normal shots, then some of my dark and wispy shots. (eekk)
I am thinking of this chair in my bedroom as being 10.5 months preggo she can lay down. . Now there is a big window to the left a fireplace on the right, a spotlight far right top ceiling pointing towards the fireplace mantle. I can swivel it a little more.
Should I forget about all of the above and use my 3 80 inch parabolic instead??
Aw for the downstairs one, I wanted to shoot her standing up, get some dark backdrops, cover her in floaty stuff and blow her so she is all wispy. Do you think that one direct source facing her or at an angle/slightly overhead would achieve the brighter front draping off to dark, or would it just blow her out in the front? Normally I would do a combination of light painting and natural light, but being 11.5 months preggo, not sure she can do that!
I know, simple questions and it is my own fault for not working with studio lights more.
I think she also looks like Katy Perry lol
