wow tobiah these are very cool.
I love your creativity, it reminds me a lot of anne geddes. cant remember how to spell it.
Anyways the first one is amazing, what a good baby to put up with all that, most kids loose it as soon as a photographer comes in the room!!
Again a beautiful series

#4 is VERY creative!
I love it!

#3 is amazing... It is so simple, but the colors, contrast, light, composition, ect. make it a wonderful photograph.


I am always excited to see your latest work :)
I follow your blog and your flicker in google reader, and love to see all your latest photos.

Child cruelty good grief give the guy a break, I am sure if it wasn't fitting the parents wouldn't have got him to do it. Congrats on upping your post count.

Great pics by the way.

[Tobiah]

Lol :D we were actually joking saying some fool would say its child cruelty... the tuba was lined with numerous amounts of blankets... he actually started to fall asleep in there!

[slicemydrive]

love the one with the netting, howd you do that?

[Tobiah]

Thanks, the father holds the netting and then i take a section from the otherside flip it and clone out the fathers arm and hand using the various tools.

[Christides]

Muso family huh. love the first well done. i agree, the parents wouldnt allow their child to be at risk (coming from a parent) and i think its something different that most people they know wont have and will admire.
I look forward to the next.

Sheesh, I knew when I saw #1 that someone would spout that kind of BS.

Tobiah, this is a beautiful set, and some of the most imaginative comps I have ever seen for baby shots. Huge kudos to you!

[Lunajen]

What was your lighting on this...one light source, softbox?

[Tobiah]

yes one 580 ex2 in a softbox at halfpower. (very cheap softbox) handheld by my assistant.

als for some had a rim light with cto gel at 1/16th (prob more like 1/20th as was the vivitar 285hv the 580 is more powerful i think

[andrepaul]

Very nice and different. I absolutely love #4, only thing missing is a stork, or that was after it left. Great job on the set.

[slicemydrive]

Thanks for reply, keep up the great work, i'm sure the family love the photos

[psycorpse]

Loved all the photos. In the piano photo you can see the reflection of someone on the left. Just wasn't sure you wanted that or not.

[kevindar]

[Leo2008]

Beautiful!!!!

[Tobiah]

Thank you :D

[cookey]

If I can be half as creative & good I will be a happy Aussie lol

[thirdof11]

Very fun and different.

[LeesaB]

Wow, newborns are NOT easy. You did good.

as a parent 1 would scare me LOL

[John Trogdon]

Tobiah, I love your work. I never thought you would endanger a newborn by letting it fall through a tuba, and then get ejected out of the spit valve.

You did a wonderful job with George. I know he was totally safe. ;)

[Tobiah]

thanks for the kind words...

[BrokenRoad]

these are really awesome. I love seeing your work.
