How DO I take it - Intrigued!

[nhebdon]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this in the correct area as its more 'how DO I take it' rather than 'how I took it'.

Unfortunately I do not have an example as do not want to post someone else's work but will do my best to explain.

Baby photography - I want to take a B&W photo where baby is in mum/dads arms but all you see is the baby and the arms (hope you follow so far). Is this achieved by mainly lighting, DOP, post production or all the above??

If anyone has any examples then please share.

Thanks
Nikki

Hi Susan,

That is exactly what I meant, thanks so much for this.

Your photos are amazing and I am going to enjoy practicing with this technique over the weekend but will definitely need to start getting handy with editing!!
