In The Moment

This could go up on a wall as black and white art and no one would be the wiser. What it is though is a well along young lady looking forward to her delivery date. The silhouette of her  curves gives the image a yin-yang feel to it.

There is something special about a pregnant women. Special may not be the correct term but it more or less covers the range of emotional, psychological, and physical attributes that comes with pregnancy. I cannot even imagine the flood of female stuff that goes on in their minds but after three children I do appreciate what they go through and how the attachment with the child is so strong in the ladies. Must be why it is call maternal rather than manternal instinct cause we just don't get it. So in my little way I can use my skills to help a young mother or mother to be appreciate the life that is growing inside of her.

Here we have a nicely lit vase this is waiting flowers... NOT! It is the same pregger belly in the previous shot with a different twist. Creatively cropped in front of a folding divider lit from behind by natural light gives it a vase like look. Here is another image that could be used as a birth announcement.

All the images were shot with a Canon 5D Mk II with an EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM lens. Lighting was by Westcott lights. You can see in tomorrows post how the lighting was done.

Take care all... Doug
