Yay! I had the chance to do another newborn session here in Thailand. Photography sessions here are definitely more challenging, but I feel like it helps me grow. For instance, I have all these ideas of things I’d like to do, but am completely unable to because I don’t have access to the material or props required, I have no dedicated tools like reflectors (pop-out ones would be awesome but I don’t have any), and even if I did have them I am very limited in what I can bring to a session since we don’t have a car.

So I stuffed my backpack full of fabrics I bought in Bangkok and my camera and two lenses and that was it. At one point I ended up using the white pages of a textbook at their house as a reflector and it worked fine. Also, I had no idea what the light would be like and to be honest, most Thai houses do not have a lot of light coming in because the idea is to keep the light out since it’s blazing hot all the time. Anyway, it has been fun for me to adapt to the challenges and see what I can get out of what I’m given.
