A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
COMPOSE: As you can see, I shot a lot of vertical images. The vertical composition seems to balance and flatter a mom-to-be even more. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t do horizontal photos. Just make sure you find the story before you shoot. When I’m doing pregnancy shoots, I’m keeping my eyes open for circular patterns to accentuate mama’s belly. I LOVED the architecture on this famous bridge and used the patterns to pull out even more repetition of circular patterns.
My DSLR Setting: Aperture was f/2.8, 1/100th of a second Shutter Speed and 64o ISO
