Robin Long LongNatural Newborn Baby Photography: A Guide to Posing, Shooting, and Business

Easy to follow

I personally found this a great guide. I think a good all rounder, I'm a hobby photographer and wanted to get some hints for taking images of my new baby. However I think this book would be great for people who are starting a business too. It gives all the information including the manual settings for different picture styles, as well as information for starting up a business, if you are that way inclined.I found this to be nicely written and an easy read unlike some photography guides, where you need a degree in rocket science to get past the introduction.

I have found this book to be exceptionally useful, lots of tips on photographing new born babies. Maybe some of the poses are a bit tricky but you do not have to mimic each pose, but the way to wrap and the fabrics to use and the tips on camera settings, etc are invaluable. A great purchase and a very good book to dip into. Robin uses only natural light, I use studio lights, but this does not matter the way she achieves the very natural and pure look is worth reading about.

Good product, fast delivery, very happy customer

A very informative book for anyone starting out in newborn photography. It addressed all the relevant starting points including positioning, lighting and camera settings. The lovely images show what can be done with a newborn. I'm really looking forward to trying it all out.

This book has really been a tremendous help in assisting me in finding my feet with newborn photography. Easy to read and understand and the pictures with camera settings really help.If your just starting out and need some guidance this is the one to buy.

Brilliant illustrated, written and presented by one of the worlds top New Born Baby photographers. Even if you just want to take simple photographs of your own baby and can't afford a professional, this book will provide some fantastic examples of beautiful work.

Arrived fast and very easy to read. I love the fact all the camera settings are under the photo's. Planning on starting my own business next year and this book has some great advice in it.

Tudo MUITO bem explicado e detalhado, além de várias fotos muito boas sobre cada tema. Recomendo para cada um que queira estudar mais e se aprofundar sobre ensaios newborn.

Ottimo prodotto. Non ho ancora letto tutto il libro anche se ho già visto che lo stesso tocca tutti i punti riguardanti questa tipologia di fotografia. Un'ottima guida da cui prendere anche qualche spunto. Consigliato

Love this book, exactly what I was looking for

I bought this book because I wanted to get more insight from someone with experience in natural light for newborn photography. I'm a semi-professional photographer and I frequently get asked if I would take pictures of friends' babies and other important events in their lives. I do not like using strobes or any studio lights when it comes to children in general. Unfortunately, I didn't know anybody with experience using only natural light and that's how I came across Robin Long's book.Her writing is very clear and she shares a lot of her personal experience as a natural light newborn and maternity photographer. The covers from a basic studio setting to the main four basic poses for newborn babies, as well as newborn babies with parents and siblings. It doesn't go as much into maternity or young children at all. But that's not the main subject of the book anyway.She also covers business practices, strategies, and editing workflows. I do happen to differ a little when it comes to business practices and I consider the Photoshop workflow to be more of a personal choice based on style. But that's perfectly fine. As an artist, Robin Long found her niche and she's more than happy to share it with her audience. Ultimately, every photographer should strive to find their own style and Robin Long makes that clear, as well.Overall, this is an excellent resource for anybody who would like to get started in this niche market and I highly recommend it.

This book, first of all, is printed with great paper and inks. The quality is awesome.The book is easy to read and explains everything: About babies(pee, poo, sleep, small, big,..), About business, About parents(the crazy ones) and about everything that you would think that has the minimum relation in Newborn photography.Apart of the business and this stuff explains also lot of things about photography.It's really great. But I wouldn't suggest it to parents who are going to have a baby and want to take pictures.This book is about photographers who want to be the best ones, and the most selling ones offering a great newborn baby photography product.
