Lighting for New Born Baby Photos

Woody60 · 25-02-2014 3:04pm #1

Hi
Does anyone have any experience of baby photos that can help me with the right lighting?
I'm nervous about using full studio lighting for those young ones and wondered if anyone can give some advice?
Thanks

Just google it and you'll see.
Seems like as long as your not pointing it straight at them it's ok to use.

I've posted this question on a few forums and got a variety of replies

.
I've collected their comments into a blog I'm working on.
Interesting spread of replies!

Do you take pictures yourself ? Do you have a kid ? Or were you just trawling for content and hits for your blog ?

Thanks for your comments. I am trying to build up a reputable blog on the subject and have a number of questions which have been kindly answered here.
"trawling for hits"- no
