Hello peeps, David here from www.davidpurlsow.com
As you may know if you stalk my blog, a few weeks ago my wife threw a little party for Christmas for a few of Joshua’s friends. Naturally I took a few pictures and posted them up here. I also put all the pics up on a password protected gallery (as I do for all my clients) and let the mothers & fathers choose pics for xmas presents on Nikki and I
I have just been working on the files for the lab but wanted to share one with you, this is Baby Alex, a few week old. The picture itself was the most simple of pictures to take, the only ‘photographer’ thing I had to do was position Mum (the shoulder you can see in the pic) in the right light. In our dining room we have HUGE patio windows that face south (north would be better) but on this day it was cloudy and overcast so the light coming in thru these windows was great. I asked ‘mum’ to stand about 2 feet from the window with her facing away away from the light but with the soft natural light falling on baby Alex. I shot this image using a Nikon 50mm F1.4 lens at F2.0 I was about 1.5 meters away from them at baby Alex’s head height. To focus, I focused on his eye and then recomposed the shot. – Converted to Black and white using Adobe Photoshop and Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro plugin.
Enjoy,
Ciao dp
As you can see I am still working out the best size and way to brand images, I will clean up the blog soon – honest !
