Posing for pregnant (and the couple) + make up
View previous topic :: View next topic

Hi all,
I wound need some inspiration for posing advice for a pregnant woman (herself only) + has husband shots.
Some ideas on scenes and posing would be appreciated.

I would also like to ask you for some make up advice for the woman so her look is as natural as possible but by hiding blemishes and red spots.

If that helps I would be shooting digital but I can not resist for also shooting with some slow, low grain black and white film... like my loved https://www.flickr.com/groups/542754@N24/

I would like to thank you in advance for your help

Regards
Alex

I'd suggest starting with a Google search for pregnancy photography tips. That will give you some good tutorials. Also, it should return some image results from which you can select good and bad examples.

Search on flickr etc. for as many great samples as you can find, let them inspirate you and make a plan what you want to do.
Do you want to shoot them indoor or outdoor? Do you have a basic studio (2-3 flashes and a black or white background?)?
If the couple is more or less nice looking I would try to make at least a few nude or semi-nude shots in the woods etc.
