Gold Coast QLD Maternity Session | Studio Session

Luca and I had so much fun getting creative with this maternity session. I had told him about the idea of incorporating gold foil and fine art into a studio session, once the bump got bigger. Luca is great to shoot with because he puts complete trusts into my visions and listens to my directions when it comes to orchestrating our own shoots. I love the creative flair he adds to our sessions too. Experimenting with different angles and lighting.

Capturing the image

When it came time to shoot, I briefly told Luca that we will only spend 30 minutes capturing the images. Well safe to say that 30 minutes turned into 4 hours of laughter and camera clicks! First of all we underestimated the duration of time that it would take to stick the gold foil on. Testing out different lotions and breaking up the foil into different sizes was a tedious job. But we go there in the end and the outcome was amazing.

After we spent an hour applying the gold foil, it was time to shoot. We really experimented with lighting during this session. Starting off with the umbrella light on the left and capturing a few images. We were searching for a bit of dramatic shadow and decided to pop the light on the other side. It made the world of a difference and complimented our vision of the shoot well. The main images that we were aiming for was a lying down reflection images. We managed to capture the perfect angle in order to create this style of artwork.

Editing the image

Once we had finished shooting we popped the images into photoshop and that is when I had free reign to work some magic. I always say its best to try and get the image as best you can straight out of camera. But there is just something that I love when it comes down to getting creative in photoshop. It really opens up all avenues of creativity.
