15 IDEAS TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR PREGNANCY (MY FAVORITE, THE 13TH)

Without a doubt, pregnancy is one of the most magical and incredible situations that human beings are capable of experiencing. Nine months of magic and uncertainty, of fears and hopes, of illusions and fears. Nine unrepeatable months that are long but flying, nine months that will be unrepeatable and that, if you do not have them portrayed, you will regret it. I assure. So do not forget that time flies, the belly grows, and you have nothing beautiful baby in your arms and you find yourself reading this post, or this one , this one , and then this one too. And if it's not you but someone close to you is pregnant, or they ask you for a favor, or they hire you ... I hope this article will inspire you to portray that magical, exciting and crazy adventure that is the path to motherhood and fatherhood .

1. APPROACH A WINDOW

As in any portrait, light is essential. The power of the windows in portrait photography is surprising, as it allows us to illuminate and play with light easily and with great results. If you want to transmit softness and tenderness and work a more homogeneous and diffused light, try to place your model (or place yourself, of course) in front of the window but with a light shade in the middle. The curtain will let the light through, but will soften it, giving the image associated sensations of softness and tenderness, very suitable for this type of photography.

2. LET THOSE AROUND YOU PARTICIPATE

A pregnancy is usually not just a matter of the mother (although of course it takes most of it), a pregnancy usually involves more people equally excited about him. If there is an older brother or sister, I assure you that he dies of emotion. So do not run out of that memory. Similarly, the father or the pregnant couple are part of this joy and, if there is no better way to live it than together, there is also no better way to portray the illusion of a pregnancy than to bring everyone around it together.

3. NOT ALL ARE BELLIES

Although the belly is the core of any pregnancy and has earned the right to be the absolute protagonist of most images, we can also occasionally leave it and let ourselves be carried away by the imagination to show the pregnancy.

4. THE PROCESS

Portraying the entire pregnancy process and then joining the images in a photographic series is another wonderful option of having the whole journey of your pregnancy with a simple glance. It requires perseverance, of course, but you are not pregnant many times in life, don't you think? If you want to achieve a good result, try that the protagonist always dresses the same clothes, looks the same hairstyle, and the image has the same framing from one image to another. To do this, use a tripod on which to place your camera, frame, shoot and, when you are satisfied with the light and the frame, write down the parameters and mark the ground at the exact point where you should place the camera the next time you go to photograph your model.

5. IN HIGH KEY

High-key portraits are characterized by their clear backgrounds and their neutral and pure tones. They transmit us life, peace, tranquility and purity. All this very useful when transmitting the emotions of a pregnancy, do not you think?

6. IN LOW KEY

On the contrary, low-key portraits are characterized by a dark background and dim lighting. They convey mystery and elegance.

7. BACKLIT

The profiles of pregnant women are the most characteristic. You can take it to an extreme and decide to work the silhouettes that leave us backlights .

8. THE EMOTION

Do not forget what really matters. A pregnancy is all emotion , some good others less, but exciting as few things in life, so in your repertoire you can not miss an image that tries to convey the emotion and feeling of pregnancy.

9. OUTDOOR

Leaving the four walls that we have improvised as a study and go to look for a good background that encumbre and add beauty to our pregnant woman is very advisable. A good context allows us to play with elements such as trees, grass, walls, textures, and so on. And if you have also chosen a good time of day or a good location, you will have a most photogenic light .

10. ORIGINALITY

Photography has no limits. The limits are our thing ;-).
Be original

11. PRIVACY

Be attentive or attentive to intimate and warm moments where the true essence of the moment is breathed.

12. BLACK AND WHITE

The formality and abstraction of black and white link much with the theme of pregnancy, since it is also a very formal type of image and full of symbolism and emotion. Do not stop working at least one of your monochrome images, surely you will not regret it.

13. WITH HUMOR

Humor him

14. MINIMALISM

We will not tire of repeating that many times less is more
Less is more
