In this course, Frank doesn’t just show you the final image — he walks you through the entire journey from concept to completion. You’ll learn how he develops the idea, selects the right wardrobe and styling elements, and designs a set that enhances the subject without overpowering her. More importantly, you’ll see precisely how he builds and modifies his lighting to shape mood, depth, and drama.
Frank explains how to work with studio strobes and modifiers to create soft, flattering light for maternity photography, while also demonstrating how to add separation, rim lighting, and subtle color effects for a more artistic result. You’ll understand not only where to place your lights, but why they’re positioned that way — so you can adapt the techniques to your own shoots with confidence.
Beyond lighting, the course also covers:
- Directing and posing a pregnant model comfortably and safely
- Creating elegant silhouettes and flattering angles
- Using props and background elements effectively
- Building multiple looks from one setup
- Fine-tuning your images for a polished, professional finish

Frank’s teaching style is clear, practical, and honest. He shares not only what works, but also the small adjustments that transform a good image into a powerful one.
