Couple of images from a recent maternity session...
And a look at workflow and a very cost effective Studio Monolight Key that paid the bills.

Enjoy!
Wishing all aboard a fabulous New Year ahead!

Incredible shots Thomas. Really like the lighting you chose for this shoot. She and hubby should be quite pleased.

Thank you so much for your kind words Don...
Albeit all credit here goes to this talented duo!
She did the entire moodboard for the shoot and provided all the wardrobe...
And he was the lighting assistant on the session, couldn't have done it without both team members.

I simply recreated the narratives she wanted... my only input was to optimize shadow placement, depth and density to best serve and enhance the narratives within.

btw, I totally love the collection of your jaguar imagery on flickr feed.
That team at Coventry took sport car design to the zenith of automotive artistry.
Cheers! Thomas
