I am going to be practicing my very first maternity shoot this weekend and just found out the mom wan't to do it indoors. I have never done any indoor shooting except for newborns who I just pose right in front of a big window. All I have is a backdrop stand (will be here tomorrow) a roll of white seamless paper and a small wood floor studio set up I recently put together. As far as lighting goes I only have my 430EX external flash for my 50D and a lightsphere.....I know not good for indoor shoot!
What would you do if you were in this situation. What would be my cheapest but best route before Sunday?? Should I go down and buy a black muslin backround, more paper, some sort of lighting??
Just to be clear this is JUST practice but of course I would like the mom to walk away with some decent shots! I would really love any advice and quick lol!
FYI - We plan on doing mainly belly shots, not whole body, she doesn't really want her face in the shots. She wants some of her 2 boys kissing her belly, all their hands on the belly, holding little shoes by her belly, one where their whole family lines up and the picture is just from the front and from their knees down (focussing on the shoes), and possibly one full body shot.
