Green Monster
Sometimes Connor gets tired of having his picture taken and just stares at me looking very annoyed. That is when his toy takes his place and I get to shoot something that doesn’t constantly move. Key light is through an umbrella and the blue edge light is bare.
Back Porch
Connor is walking down our back steps in to the back yard. He is lit with two lights. One is through an umbrella to my right. The second is bare and at the bottom of the steps, pointing up at him. Nice hat!
Connor’s New Bed
“Surely there aren’t any monsters under my new bed!“
Connor is almost two and a half and he has a new brother on the way. I figured that it was about time to move him out of the crib and into a bed. I found some great plans and went to work. Modified slightly because I wanted a railing. It’s actually a little snug for a modern crib mattress, but it still works. I would make a few minor adjustments if I were to build it again.
All shots were taken with two off-camera flashes. I have lighting descriptions on various flickr pages: Naked Furniture, Monsters, Morning Light, B/W, Froggies.
Reading To Connor
I make periodic self portraits with Connor and myself. I took this one partly to test out my new second speedlight. I have the main one pointed through an umbrella in front of us and the second one is on the floor behind me. You can see a little bit of blue light on my shoulder from that one. I’m also wearing my new Star Wars apron – taking a break from cooking.
