I can't imagine any pregnant woman being disappointed with any one of these pictures, exellent.
Aw thank you, you're very kind!
Im totally impressed 😍😍😍
Im absolutely loving this session ... I love how you broke it down so simple. Im planning doing something similar for my wife ... you rock girl ... keep at it
Thank you! I mean it's not hard to do but it looks so dramatic )) good luck with your shoot! I'm sure it'll be great!
I love how you explain everything and give the details of the shot and even the backdrop you're using. You rock!
aww thank you, happy to help!
@@kseniaprophoto what lights do you recommend for beginners? Extreme beginners lol.
Start with continuous light or LED lights, they are not strobes, so it's the same as working with natural light. If you want to learn flash, get a decent flash and a trigger for off camera flash techniques
@@kseniaprophoto thank you! ❣️
This was one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen! Very well explained!!
Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful
this was so helpful, I have LOTS of pregnant friends that want maternity shoots, so this really put my mind at ease
Damn that was awesome!!!!! You did a great job working in a small space like that and with one light. Love it!!! And the post processing..outstanding!! Im doing my first maternity shoot tomorrow and doing it indoors is my backup plan in case it rains. This video is a keeper!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you for watching!
Great contents as usual Ksenia and lots for me to practice in my soon to be ready home studio. How are you getting beautiful soft light around the model without using a reflector on the opposite side? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Great question! Well, I do have a reflector - it's a white wall in my studio! Because room is small,the light bounces off of the walls and helps create that even light
ohhhh i love this,
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing - it’s usefull for new maternity as me
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Excellent job!!
Thanks so much!
Great video and tips!

Wow, simply gorgeous!
Thank you!
Ksenia Pro Photography You’re welcome love.
Thanks i really find super useful your info! I really appreciate your time ans effort! Specially with bloggers fashion shoot, definitely fashion is my thing and i didnt know much about this and how to enter to the business, please talk more about this subject i love it!
And i got a problem with this same speedlight and same umbrella 7ft but i always got no sharp , no blurry but kind of noisy pics and i thought it waa because the flash low power and that i needed a strobe instead , the smaller umbrella i got gives me much more sharper pics, can you explain how do you set your speedlights and how to use this flashes with huge umbrella please
It's really no difference, but you need to get a bit more power with large umbrellas. I like to keep my speedlights 1/16 - 1/8 max, so trying to balance it with some daylight if possible. Plus I'm shooting in a small room with white walls which bounce the light around and help even it out more
You made my day.. Thank u for great tutorial/session...
Absolutely! Great to hear that! It's just a small part of what I do 😉 launching my online course soon, sign up for my email list to get the update. kseniapro.com

I just did one on how I extend the background, I used pictures from this shoot, but I'm planning to do more czcams.com/video/hkaFwZ0eTAU/video.html
Thank you so much! I needed to sit on a Sunday, stay still and learn! beautiful
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found my channel to sit still and learn ))
Gorgeous model , and a great tutorial ! Ksenia would you also mind sharing what tripods you use to hold the flashlight and what size umbrella , links would be great ! I have tried multiple tripods from Amazon , and non is sturdy to keep my light and umbrella.

I feel like I'm watching a magician performing tricks😍😍🔥🔥🔥like wow...wow...wow, I can't over how small your studio is,when I saw the thumbnail I thought okay high ceilings expensive studio and most definitely strobes, expensive strobes... and I like how your ideas, creativity 👌👌
Haha that's what most people think and then they come to my studio and it's nice but tiny, def not high ceilings ))) my backdrop cutoff is just over 7 ft think (have that annoying drywall covering the duct inside), sooo.. just get creative!

Hey Kesnia, i love what you're achieving from this small space with a single light! Can I ask what width the gray backdrop is please, and what is the material ❤️🙏
Hey! Thank you for watching! The backdrop should be linked in the description, it's seamless paper 107 in wide
Atleast I have an idea of what to do tomorrow on my maternity shoot. You are the best❤️
Of course! Happy to help! Your photographer should help you with poses, but it's good to practice as well ❤️ good luck!
@@kseniaprophoto Thank you, we'll watch the video with him as well so we can be abit creative. I'll share with you how it goes

Haha that's the best comment today 😁

@@AffyRimi wherr r u from
Ksenia, your work is Marvelous!!! I know it’s much to ask but what tools did you use in Photoshop to extend the back drop 😬???
There's another video tutorial to watch ))
What was you camera sittings please
Потрясающая работа. Какие красивые фотографии получаются 😍
Спасибо! И спасибо Насте за помощь, у нее прямо талант с первого раза получилось! 👏👏👏 Обычно у всех с десятого 😁
Great
Thank you!
Love the work, where did you get the chiffon to purchase?
Thank you! The white chiffon that I had was s from Walmart, but you can get it from any local fabric store or even Amazon. They also sell chiffon trains on Etsy
Amazing !!! Do you have any editing tutorials for maternity belly with stretch marks?
Not yet but it's easy to remove those in Photoshop - use patch tool or healing brush
Way interesting
Thank you for watching!
thanks you
Thank you for watching
Love your work so much!! Would I be able to ask you which equipment you use for studio? When there is no good natural light. Which flash and size of octabox/umbrella. Thank you so much!
Sure thing! All my equipment listed and linked in the description
Thank you so much for answering, I was asking in case you have changed some of the equipment (specially for the flash). Also I think the link of the umbrella has a different item but anyway :P does it mind if the umbrella on the inside is white or the shiny silver? I really appreciate the time you take to answer questions 🙏🏼 thank you for that
Sure! Oh I'll have to check it then. Umbrella with the white inside will give softer light than silver, but mine is silver and it's pretty soft with the white diffuser
Where did u get the backdrop sheet?
Great job
Thank you!
This was so informative, I really enjoyed watching you work, great tutorial just perfect thank you... the extra white material that you used is this chiffon? also I'm looking for new speed light triggers and receivers as mine keep failing.. can you recommend any ?
Yes the white fabric is chiffon, I think I have my gear linked up in luding transmitter. I've been using Yongnuo speedliggts and there triggers for years
@@kseniaprophoto I have two Yongnuo speed lights also, that I purchased a few years back when I started a diploma course - I am a beginner and was feeling a bit overwhelmed tbh and came to a standstill - but thanks to you I'm feeling a bit more confident - very inspiring x
Great to hear that! It's not as complicated if you learn one thing at a time and just practice a lot
Hey ksenia, thanks for this video, I have the same speedlight and a 7ft same umbrella , my camara is cropped sensor and i use lens 35 1.4 , I always have thought that this huge umbrella doesn’t work with speedlights because i feel the pictures are not as sharp as my smaller umbrella, and i place two flashes inside the umbrella! How is it possible that i always got not sharp image with the big umbrella! Can you recommend how to get sharp with this speedlight and huge umbrella! Thanks
Hey! The large umbrella will produce softer light, less deeper shadows and it might require more power from the flash, but it should not affect the sharpness of the images. If you're having a hard time focusing that's not because of the light )
Loved this! Do you have a video editing these images?
Thank you! Yes I have a few editing videos - here's one of them czcams.com/video/hkaFwZ0eTAU/video.html
How or what did you use to edit to make the grey background extend and cutoff the sides that exposed the room?
Check this video on my channel czcams.com/video/hkaFwZ0eTAU/video.html
Wowwwoowweeee
How did you fill in the backdrop in post to look like it completely filled the frame?
Here czcams.com/video/hkaFwZ0eTAU/video.html
Where did you get these dresses? I am so loving it and also looking for similar dresses. Please let me know.
All the information is in the description to the video
This is absolutely beautiful! What lighting set up did you use?
You see it in the video - it's just one light with a large parabolic umbrella
You’re seriously amazing! Hoping to create beautiful photos like this thank you!
