...the first cry...

You have done a great job catching the first cries of life, beautiful. Congratulations to the Mother, and Happy Birthday to the Baby.

...for stopping by, and leaving comment. Indeed, i am very lucky to have the opportunity to witness, to photograph, to share the whole process of childbirthing thruogh C-section.

 

Happy Holidays to you and yours, Warm regards. Tanya.

...while still attached to mommy. In my documentary folder of

C-section. Thanks for viewing. Warm regards, Tanya.

amazing amazing amazing, I love this whole series Tanya. perfect timing on a once in a lifetime shot.

Not everyone got the chance to capture such great moment of life and also not for the faint hearted. Photographing C-section is not an easy job, experience beyond photography is needed and you surely had seen lots of C-sections to know exactly all the surgical steps. My compliments and congratulation for the successful documentation.

Beng! in fact, this is the first time in 12 years that i've witnessed a C-section from A to Z. I did not remember the whole process but i knew i can not afford to miss any action. My attention to the activities was intense at the time. I am amazed at myself how well i've captured these photos and not missing any action. For the first time in my photography pursuit that i am very proud of my work. It was an incredible exprerience esp.to be there for my very closed girlfriend. Now, it also helps to be a friend of one of the most accredited surgeons and anesthesiogists, i asked them exactly where the baby would come out and zoomed my caremra there from the beginning. Of course, the surgeon choose the best spot for me to stand :o). The actual C-section was about 5 minutes. I am astonished at these photos myself...still now :o).

 

For Tizha, I was allowed in the room briefly and did not witnessed the whole process. However, i gave the husband my camera and showed him exactly what to do. Unfortunately, I learned that...father would not be a good candidate to photograph the delivery of his own baby.

 

I hope to do more documentarirs as fascinating as this one in the future. With warm regards,Tanya.

Tanya, this is an impressive series. Having gone through the experience of photographing my wife having a C section, just a few weeks ago, I completely understand the excitement associated with the birth process, and being there with camera.

 

For me, this is the most powerful of all the photos in this series, you've done a terrific job capturing the exact moment. I

 

f you ever find yourself holding a camera in the OR, picturing a C section, or any other procedure; I would recommend that you under expose your images by 1.5 to 2 steps, otherwise you'll end up having over burned areas. Remember the light used by the medical staff to illuminate the surgical area, is much brighter than the rest.

You can always work on the image later, and extract more detail of the underexposed areas, rather than to do so form over exposed spots.

 

Cheers,
