ELINE AND ROB, TWO ABSOLUTELY LOVELY AND CREATIVE PEOPLE WITH A BIG HEART FOR PEOPLE, ANIMALS AND NATURE. BOTH ARE ARTISTIC, INDEPENDENT-MINDED AND NOT AFRAID TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN PATH. SO IT QUICKLY BECAME CLEAR THAT THIS MATERNITY SHOOT ON THE BEACH WOULD BE JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
NOT TRADITIONAL MATERNITY PHOTOS, BUT AN ARTISTIC PHOTO SERIES THAT REALLY SUITS THEM. A LITTLE EDGY, CREATIVE, PERSONAL AND, ABOVE ALL, NOT TOO POSED.
WITH THE DUNES, THE Swaying marram grass and the sea as a backdrop, the beach provided the perfect setting for this special maternity photoshoot in the great outdoors.
ARTISTIC MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY AMONGST THE DUNES AND THE SEA
It was September. The soft sand, the swaying marram grass and the waves provided the backdrop for this artistic maternity photoshoot on the beach. From open sandy plains to sheltered dune hollows and the vast sea. Each location lent the photos a different atmosphere.
The contrast between the dunes and the beach made it possible to create a varied series of maternity photos. Sometimes soft and intimate, sometimes a bit edgier and with a more editorial feel.
The photo shoot began with Eline and Rob together, walking through the dunes, close together. Without any complicated poses or expectations, but with plenty of time to get used to the camera at their own pace.
Because you don’t need to pose perfectly for natural maternity photos. It’s precisely the little moments, the spontaneous movements and the connection between two people that make the photos personal.
This led to a series of artistic maternity photos in which the focus was not only on the pregnancy, but above all on Eline and Rob together.
CREATIVE MATERNITY PHOTO SHOOT WITH AN EDITORIAL TOUCH
As well as the natural setting of the beach and the dunes, this maternity photoshoot also had a creative, artistic twist.
A large backdrop was used to create a temporary photo studio right in the middle of the beach. The contrast between the fabric and the rugged coastal landscape gave the maternity photos a unique, editorial feel.
By playing with natural light, the wind and different compositions, a varied series emerged. From minimalist and intimate portraits to more experimental images.
Eline and Rob were completely open to this creative approach, which meant that the photo series not only captured their pregnancy but also reflected their personalities.
SOLO PORTRAITS
As well as the photos of them together, this maternity shoot on the beach also included some individual portraits of Eline. It was a moment that focused not only on her pregnancy, but above all on her.
From striking black-and-white portraits in the dunes to warm images at the water’s edge, with the wind in her hair and her silhouette against the setting sun. The contrast between the natural landscape and the backdrop gave the photographs an artistic, editorial feel.
Also via Shapes & Shadows Angela offers personalised, artistic maternity photo shoots for women who wish to have this special time captured in a personal and creative way.
The combination of intimate couple photos and individual maternity portraits rounded off Eline and Rob’s photo series.
MATERNITY PHOTOS THAT REALLY SUIT YOU
No two pregnancies are the same, and the same goes for maternity photography. From an intimate maternity shoot in the countryside to creative, artistic portraits with an editorial feel. The most important thing is that the images reflect who you are.
For Eline and Rob, these different styles came together. Spontaneous moments as a couple, striking individual portraits and a creative concept right in the middle of the beach.
And so a personal series of maternity photos was created, set amongst the dunes and the sea. Casual, a touch quirky and entirely their own.
