Tips on Child Photography
Learn To Photograph Children For Money Or Pleasure
Tips on child photography! How to create a stunning portfolio for yourself or your client - Where
do you start? Whether you are just here to learn how to get the most
out of your digital camera when photographing your own children, or are
looking to make a living from this style of photography, hopefully these
tips on child photography will lead you on your way.
Whilst infant or baby photography
can be one of the most rewarding areas, it can also be quite
frustrating. If you have your own or have been around young children
long enough, you will know what I mean! The term "never work with
animals or children" springs to mind and usually relates to photography
or film-making. However, done right, you will end up with photographs
that will last forever and really capture the spirit of the moment.
I have seen Mothers in tears (of joy I might add!)
when they have seen some photographs of their children, and you cannot
put a price on that kind of reaction! With regard to pricing, that is
something you must decide depending on the demographics of your
particular area. I find it easier to charge a little more for the
sitting but offer prints at a competitive rate, I normally get larger
orders that way!
If you are looking to do this type of photography for
a living, it can be both lucrative and ongoing as you may well become
the family photographer for many years to come. Kids change so much in
just 6 months so establishing yourself early on would be a great
business move. Just follow the links below in the order that they run.
