| | | Photographing children and babies constitutes a large portion of the business in most portrait studios. Working with young children who are nervous or uncooperative can present a formidable challenge for the photographer. Beginning with infants, this book discusses the specific details of photographing children at every stage of growth, addressing age-specific psychology and attention spans. Technical information on posing and lighting, including props, backgrounds, low- and high-key lighting, and special effects, is supplemented with advice on making children comfortable and cooperative. Special attention is given to how sights and sounds will soothe a baby and get his or her attention for the best portrait. | | |
