Ive never photographed babies before, and with good reason.
Im not very good with them. No idea what to do with them. They don't take direction well.
A coworkers girlfriend had a baby a few days ago and asked if I would take a few pictures for them.
I told them absolutely not. I don't work with babies. I don't want to work with babies.
I told them to find another patsy.
So there I was at their apartment today...taking some baby pictures for them, wondering what on earth to do with this little...thing...realizing I just don't have the patience for baby work.
not that I didn't realize going in that infant photography was a time consuming venture, but it sure affirmed my original belief that it is not the photography for me.
so...one bean bag chair and a chunk of black velvet fabric later...here's what I got.
In hindsight, I should have gone with just a little more DOF.
There was not enough beanbag to really give me room to do a better crop, and in the cramped apartment, I had nowhere to go for a decent background. Posing? um....no. Baby was not following any of my directions....
im 100% sure im only about 60% pleased with the processing, but im done messing with it for a bit.
so, without further adieu, I present to you, my first baby photos!
