How to get whites white…

As a newborn photographer and baby photographer who’s style is very uncluttered and predominantly white, I need to ensure that my whites are perfect for the image I’m creating. A key part of getting your whites white in photography is fairly obvious, but often overlooked or misused.  It’s setting the right white balance. I bet...

Keep it simple…

                                      It takes 10,000 hours of practice to turn you into a master. So if you’re a photographer offering a whole array of different styles and genre’s of photography, how are you ever going to ‘perfect’ your craft?...

    It’s all trickery…

    A bed is a fantastic backdrop for child and baby photos.  It adds a natural feel and conjures up feelings of comfort, plus it’s bouncy and soft which babies and children love. However a real bed can be really dangerous, especially if you’re trying to take a photo and your little one decides to crawl lightening speed...

      How do you do the window portion of the shot? I have 2 studio lights, but how do you get it to look like a real window?ReplyCancel

      Did you say that u have just one light coming from behind your curtain ? Also unrelated for your cake smash do you just put down white roll and throw it away each time or do you put something over top ?

      • smitchell1472@hotmail.co.uk04/14/2017 - 11:06 pm

        Yes that’s right regarding the light and with cake smashes I just do them directly on my floor. I deep clean it before and after every cake smash to get the cake out of the cracks, but my floor also comes apart into 3 sections and so that makes cleaning easier xxReplyCancel

    • Tania Wicks04/10/2017 - 9:48 pm

      This is such a beautiful setup! May I ask what light you have behind the curtain? What camera flash do you use? TiaReplyCancel

      • smitchell1472@hotmail.co.uk04/14/2017 - 11:06 pm

        Thank you lovely. It’s the Elinchrom D-lite 1 xxReplyCancel

        • Chumee Eisen11/08/2017 - 3:50 pm

          Hi do you use the light without a soft Box? The curtain is th diffuser? Or you still need both? If yes, what kind of softbox do you use? Thank you so much for sharing ur setup with us! I absolutely love the way ur images have that natural light feel but I hate the inconsistency of natural light ReplyCancel

          • smitchell1472@hotmail.co.uk01/16/2018 - 5:57 pm

            Thank you so much for your comment. I use an Elinchrom D-lite 1 with a Westcott 7ft PLM umbrella, this sits behind a curtain that I have hung from the ceiling. The curtain is made from a layer of white shower curtains and then white voiles in front. The key is to diffuse the light as much as possible and then work out the best angle for the light in your space xReplyCancel
