Second Shoot
16/10/2019- Family photo shoot
- Studio setting
- Family of 6 - mum, dad, 6yr old, 5yr old, 2yr old and a two week old baby
- 3 backdrops
- Props included bunting, small rugs, make shift bed for the baby, large beanbag and blankets
- Duration of the shoot 1 hour
- First set of images included the baby, whilst she was still asleep, alternately using two different props as beds.
- The second set of images included all of the girls sat together. During this part of the shoot we were experiencing issues with the two youngest girls; the baby wanted mum, and the two year old was becoming bored with just staying sat down, so mum and dad had to distract her with videos on their phones.
- The third set of images included the two year old on her own. It took a lot of distraction to keep her looking at the camera.
- The fourth set of images were of the five year old on her own, this little girl was a right character and was full of lots of different poses, which made it easy to work with.
- The fifth set were of the eldest girl; she was really great to work with, as she was older this meant that she listened to instruction better.
- For the sixth set of images we changed the backdrops. We initially started off with the two eldest girls together and then we added in the two youngest girls, so that we had all of them sat together. Then unfortunately the two year old began to get upset and so we ended up with the two eldest girls sat with the baby.
- For the whole family shoot we moved to the white backdrop and varied from having them standing to sitting on the beanbag and then using one of the previous backdrops with them sitting/kneeling on the floor.
