As a photographer, one of the most beautiful things to photograph is a pregnant womam. Woman in itself are already beautiful (man too, but that’s a different story alltogether), but a pregnant woman is a pleasure to photograph and to look at. Most of the times, when pregnancy goes well, these woman are so proud of their little bundle of joy inside their body, that they come accross on photographs in a self-confident way.
It wasn’t any different with this lady, who I photographed in her own house. Photographing a belly on location, that is in the comfort and cosyness of someone’s own house, holds many advantages. The pregnant lady doesn’t have to move herself towards a photo studio, but she can stay in a well-known environment, which ultimately helps to gain even more confidence to pose for photographs. In order to explore the through possibilities of pregnancy photography, often people want photographs of the naked body (which, indeed, shows the changing outlines of the body very well). But as you will see in the photographs below, it doesn’t always have to be naked.
With the help of a black background, which I brought along, and a few of-camera reportage flashes (type Nikon SB900) I created different images. In order to respect the privacy of everyone involved, I can only show a few images, but they serve to prove my point. Woman are beautiful, pregnant woman are stunning!
