Need some ideas for a Pregnancy Shoot

02/08/2007 03:38:49 PM · #1

Hi guys!

I am shooting my first pregnant woman Saturday and would like some ideas or references if you wouldn't mind?

She is not sure exactly what she wants and I only have a vague idea of where to start... sooooo, I am asking you to put your pregnant lady pics in this thread so that I may show her and ask her what style she prefers (ie couples, nude, almost nude, clothed, etc...).

THANK YOU AHEAD OF TIME :)

An idea I've seen a few times is a tight shot of the belly, with both sets of hands on them, forming a heart shape, over the belly button.

Might be heading rapidly towards cliche though.

If you go to Photo's / Search photo's and type in 'Pregnant' or Pregnancy you will get to see a few ideas.

Well I think it's ok but for the tipe of your model I think the pose is not the best.

She is a bit overwheighted to be in a profile (no ofense, me and my wife we are both "overweighted" to say the least). So just a bit of rotation to her left would be best in my opinion.

Or it you had something she could sit on withought beeing too low so she could arch her back a bit to putt the belly a bit to the front would be nice.

I have done several of these. A photo of the man kissing her stomach, holding her stomach with both hands while standing behind her, photo of sibling kissing the belly and a shot of the woman cradling her belly. I have had good results with all of these poses.

Oh nono, I appreciate it :) I think I can tone it down a bit in PS.
