I learned alot new subs here

[@shutupandkissme8608]

I'll try this with myself since I love myself. Haha. Black & white will always be classy. Great shoot! Could you make a tutorial for dramatic b&w for those who don't have studio lighting & equipment, please? I only have a ring light so maybe I'll just try to tweak the settings. Lol. 😆

[@keniabruss3904]

Would you be able to do this with simple lighting ? As in , not those fancy speed lights ? On a budget right now & want to do my own maternity photos

[@M.GVARGAS]

You can do a nice outdoor maternity shoot without any man made lights. Look for a nice park that has a lot of trees with some sunlight of course. Usually 1 hour and 30 mins before sunset.

[@gerardorodriguez7858]

You can do it in any room with a window. Just use said window as if it was your softbow and there you go (Yo may want to use some white cloth to make it softer and another on front so that the subject doesnt have that much contrast.

[@romearobo3922]

I'm doing a photoshoot with my pregnant wife right now and I saw this video. really helpful sir. I might tag you in IG once I post this.
