Baby JJ, originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.

I don’t normally shoot baby images. They are really hard to do and I admire baby photographers for their skill. In fact, this session was the second session for Baby JJ as the first failed terribly. Baby JJ is a grandson of a co-workers. Comments have the setup and the test subject ‘Cat In The Hat’.

Technical Ramblings: 3 AlienBee B800s used. 2 in large softboxes camera right and left (-2ev). The last strobe behind the hugh pillow shooting at a white seamless backdrop (+2ev). Post work was pretty simple and I used Photoshop CS3 and the Totally Rad actions; Oh Snap!, Prettyizer, plus some Warm It Up Kris!
