Last month, I wrote a post announcing the birth of our newest grandson. Well, like any grandparent who also happens to be a photographer, I’ve taken a “few” photos of the new fellow and the proud parents. That also led us to the photo below showing a maternity “before” image and an “after” image including the baby as a reflection in the mirror.
I don’t remember where I saw the technique, but it’s not an original idea. The process is pretty simple, We did the before image last winter, and made notes of how the people and studio lights were arranged. We then simply recreated the setup for the after photo. Throw in a little Photoshop work and you have the finished image.
