When I photographed my first pregnant woman, I fell in love with her beauty, the symbolism of the pregnant female, and the story and history that she represents. Given we all come from pregnant women, I was stunned at the lack of representation in art history, = and the current media like advertising. I immediately knew I wanted to bring this shape into the public eye, make it a part of the conversation and challenge society's definition of beauty. I had found my passion.
She has been featured in every major paper, on every major TV channel, and on every major website. Jennifer has photographed high-profile celebrities, CEOS, and sports figures. She had a book come out with the forward written by the famous Penny Simkin who founded the role of the doula for birth support.
In her interview with Women Fitness President, Ms. Namita Nayyar, Jennifer Loomis enlightens us about what all to keep in mind in order to capture moments and feelings that create compelling photographs of you and your family.
So how do I capture these moments?.
I use all the tools I have learned over the years, finding the light, watching for a gesture, consciously crafting composition, using special lenses, and all the other tools photographers have like exposure, and motion blur. I do most of my work on camera and don't use Light room presets or fix my images much in post-production. I am a former film photographer so with film you have to get it right the first time and I continue to do this even though I use a digital camera now. I also shoot in manual mode still to this day. I have the fanciest camera in the world but that isn't important, it is a tool like anything else. My expertise is in knowing how to use that tool to make it do what I want and tell the story that I envision for each client.
What excites you most about this Maternity photography?
