In this tutorial, I will be breaking down and demonstrating exactly how I prepare, shoot and edit one of my favourite poses: the baby in Dad's hands. The tutorial consists of three videos: In the first video, I will discuss how I set the pose up and using my posing doll, I will go through the theory of how to get a perfect in-camera image. The second video is a recording of a live shoot with a real baby. In the final video, I will show you how I edit and convert this image into a stunning, dramatic and timeless image that my clients will forever cherish. There is also a bonus downloadable PDF detailing the light and camera settings and a handy lighting diagram for your future reference.

I really like your way of teaching. You have a systematic approach which I like and your training is logical and you explain everything in good detail. Before I was everywhere with my lighting, it was really messy. I now know what to expect and it gives me more time to think about styling, posing and other things. Just wanted to give you some feedback because this course has already changed my work!
