How to Photograph Children

How to Photograph Children Review



This article, as the subtitle says, is "a short, non-technical, plain language guide by a 30-year pro". A quote from inside the book says, "Most of the information in this article can be used and understood by readers who only have a child, a cell-phone camera and no technical experience whatsoever."

The real magic in this booklet that sets it apart from "gear-orieinted" books and guides is in the "psyops section".The author shares his secrets for gently guiding the child's behavior in such a way as to produce "WOW" images. All the perfect lighting and posing suggestions and lens choices in the world will not wipe away a child's tears. Stopping the tears and inappropriate behaviors before they start is the key.

The book is direct, with no-bull or filler and is easy to read and put into practice.

It has 4345 words or about 13 to 17 standard paperback pages.
