To kick things off, I thought I'd offer up three tried and true tips on how to obtain awesome photos of your children.
Tip #1: Make Them Laugh. There is nothing I abhor more than portrait sessions where everyone is posed stiffly with parents shouting "say cheese!" while the kids paste on forced, plastic smiles. (You know what I'm taking about. I'm looking at you, JC Penny). Get your kids to laugh! Make fart noises, contort your body into ridiculous positions, tickle them, honestly, do whatever it takes. I guarantee even the most stoic child will laugh eventually if you're willing to bring on the sillies.
Tip #3: Change Your Perspective. As adults, we often forget that kids are little people: little, as in, a lot smaller than us. Getting down to their level, or on a totally different level from them, makes for a dynamic photograph. Lay on your stomach and shoot up. Climb on a chair and shoot down. Shoot through a barrier. Crouch right in front of them and point the lens directly opposite their face. Your perspective suddenly becomes a child's perspective, which makes for a far more interesting composition.
Great tips! I've learned after three years of shooting my twins that laughter and fun absolutely makes for better shots, and they sense when I'm not having fun behind the camera. And yes, thank goodness for fast shutter speeds - toddlers are FAST. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your style! Shots of real emotions and interaction are so much more precious to me than a forced posed portrait. You are so good at capturing real laughter - those shots are adorable!

ReplyDeleteA photo booth can be used and featured just about everywhere. One place where it can be used is at a place where a party is being held. Party venues are going to hold a lot of people and not to mention a lot of activities.

Lovely! I love working with kids, they are so adorable and really easy to work with them. They are sincere and don't worry about their looks that much as adults, so you can edit your photos with Aurora HDR later. But real emotions you cannot add. That's why photos with children are always the best.
ReplyDeleteAs is valid with a wedding DJ, 4 hours of photograph stall diversion is normally perfectly.Metroclick
ReplyDeleteDoes the organization give props or would you say you are responsible for giving these to your visitors? Does the photo booth have video abilities? If not is the value justified, despite all the trouble? Additionally ask what number of photos it takes. trade show displays
