Posed or photoshopped

6th image posed or photoshopped.

Somehow the image URL linked the entire gallery rather than image that I wanted to post.

Try not to quote the pictures next time, please. It adds unnecessary clutter.

What a gorgeous set! I love them all.

They are all posed.

Forum rules prohibit posting photos that don't belong to you; if they were your photos you would have known whether or not they were posed.

like the last one in the set best

That's probably because it's all one picture, not a gallery.


The sixth one I can guarantee you is photoshopped.

Here are a few examples of how photographers get that pose from newborns.

Etc. If you Google it, you will come up with these results and many more as well as tutorials on how to do it.

Personally, while it's super cute, I don't like that pose for babies. It's so unnatural, no new born baby could actually hold itself up like that and that turns me off of it.

great set

yes, the 6th one is absolutely photoshoped. its a common shot, and there are you tube tutorial on how to composite the two images. in one, the parent is holding the head, and in another one, the barent is holding the hands in position. then the two are composited.
this style of newborn shot is usualy done during the first 9 days of life, where, once asleep, the baby can be manupulated. however, babies are very top heavy (head heavy) and it would be entirely too dangerour and irresponsible to shoot them without head support.

Wow, nice!

I agree, although I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who felt that way. It's also getting somewhat overdone since everyone wants it and does it.

They are all posed, but you should not be posting someone else's images here.

I should have said this before but they are not my images, they belong to their respective owner. I had no idea we couldn't post other people images to enquire about he workflow used in creating those images and for this I do apologies, forgive my ignorance.

Yeah I had hunch it was a composit, thanks for your input all.
