About the image

When photographing newborns, I typically like to create high-contrast/moody images. With one light camera left (Paul Buff Einstein w/ 64″ white PLM umbrella) at almost 90 degrees pointing down at the subject and a white reflector board on the right, I can achieve this look in camera and play with further dodging & burning in post production. (The light glow in the lamp was added in Photoshop). **Backdrop: Noelle Mirabella by Intuition Backgrounds, Floor Rug & Dark Green Layer: Intuition Backgrounds
