Sweet baby Jack was stillborn at 36 weeks gestation. Sooo close , but did'nt quite make it to full term.
30 mins after the call,I was in the hallway outside the delivery room setting up my camera gear. I positioned a 430ex on a stand set to slave, and an ep-2 transceiver to my Canon 5d, and made my way in to meet the distraught couple. I knew the large moveable light attatched to the cieling would also be an intregal source for the photos. Inside, I positioned the 430 in a corner and aimed it at the ceiling. I switched on the ep-2 on the camera's hotshoe and started shooting.
Jack's gentle serenity was offset by the soft sobbing and occasional murmering sounds in the room. I moved around in slow motion, as invisible as possible, watching for the perfect shot, and anticipating the next move.
After approximately 20 mins of intense, silent shooting, I consoled the parents, handed my card to the midwife and headed for the hallway to pack up my gear.
