Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
its been a while that I had been able to write a blog.... had been busy like hell.... the new business effort of ours has kept us on our toes.... we had received lots of responses from our friends.... and they extended their helping hands to spread the words.... we're really indebted to all those....
our newborn photography efforts have brought us a big audience within a short time.... we don't want to boast, but we haven't come across such efforts in Bangladesh so far.... anyway, this is just the start and there are much much more coming up... we are getting calls on a regular basis from parents of babies of all ages.... a lot of them have lamented that their children have already passed the newborn age (up to 6 weeks).... but we must assure them that moments are never lost with babies as long as they stay babies.... and we are here to make sure that the moments are not lost....
we have learned many things with newborns as we work along.... hope to share those little bits and pieces of experience in more detail in coming blog posts.... newborns are a challenge to photograph, but also great fun.... their adorable appearances make any photography efforts worth it....
had not been able to write the technical stuff for some time..... so, just thought it won't be bad to share some of those, although not in a lot of details.... the first two pictures were done using a single softbox with a single YN-560.... if I'm not wrong, the first one was done with a Lastolite Ezybox 24" Hotshoe softbox and the next one was done with Westcott 28" Apollo softbox.... the third image was done with the above two softboxes combined.... I wanted a bathing in light for that image... so, although flat, the lighting was intentional...

the last four images were done using a single light source.... an Elinchrom Ranger RX + Simpex Pro 120cm x 50cm softbox.... I simply love this combination because of the control it gives...I've used several lenses for these images.... depending on their perspective, aperture requirement, convenience, and DoF, I've used an ultra-sharp Sigma 150mm Macro, cheap Nikkor 28-80mm and the superb Nikkor 50mm 1.4... in all of the cases, Elinchrom Skyport was the trigger for these strobist stuff....
please don't forget to watch our Newborn Photography Album in Facebook....
a lot lot more to come....
