PregGy PicTorIal @ 7.5-8 months

i recently had completed my DIY softbox project made of used huge umbrella, industrial foil,raincoat some velcro,aluminum foil and an old plastic bowl. im happy how it turned out.its a whoppin' 36" softbox that gives an even soft huge light. you'll get 1 stop less but it is so worth the light.

three weeks was the time required to complete this project.endless sewing for the velcro and rain coat every night. and it all paid off...

some test shots


after a few more tests(DIY softbox portraits)nakuha ko na ung technique sa aking softbox...

we spent the whole friday afternoon shooting and conceptualizing(tama ba?..usually kasi sleep mode kame after lunch).and since we dont have enough time para mahabol ung 8mo ni cathy..nag shoot nlng kame..

and eto yun..

Christmas Fun Shoot - 5 months Preggy pictorial

last christmas, naiwan kame ni misis sa bahay..housemates went out for a christmas gala..since di pwede maglakwatsa si buntis, we decided to stay at home..then, we thought of doing a pictorial at home...browse some pregnancy portraits sa net, kumuha ng ideas and ginaya namin, but most of the time, failure ang attempts ko..so nag-isip ako ng sarili naming concept..








all in all, natuwa kame sa kinalabasan ng aming photoshoot...

Strobist set-up : SB800 mounted swivel & ligthstand on 45"Umbrella shoot-through; on commander mode..camera left/right/above..with silver reflector

more pictorial shoot to come..super excited daddy na ako..lapit na namin makita si baby..ilang weeks nlng..

sa Diyos ang Papuri!
