Kids love to pretend to be someone else. From a simple youngster, they imagine themselves being a princess, a queen or a damsel in distress. Whenever someone asks for a still shot, another would pose like a model, or a fairy. Some would go a bit sporty by wearing riding boots and imagines riding their horsey.
There are two categories in shooting people, portrait and candid. Portrait seems a lot serious because subject/s can be a family, or with all of their clan. It has to be shot with a story and great depth to signify the power and legacy of the family. Even on individual portrait shots, everything should be put into place, each element perfect.
When young celebrities land on their first movie, they are expected to have lots of TV appearances, product endorsements, and photo shoots. They take the opportunity to introduce themselves to the industry. Different photographers and other members of the media pile up to get a shot on the young superstar.
In fashion photo shoots, some models that just had a baby were asked to pose for a shot to show the world how they look after giving birth. There are times that they are required to be dressed in sexy and fitted outfits. In cases like these, they choose to use body stockings underneath to hide their belly fat. The garment is so body-hugging that it naturally flows with the skin.
There is more to child photography than just the lighting and the backgrounds. The opportunity for good photographs is to be able to embrace the whole psychological aspect of child photography. While I may not well be an expert in portraiture or child photography, I have learned one or two things with my interest of taking good shots of my son.
Here are a couple of shots taken using our brand new 35mm f/1.8G DX prime lens. As you might have noticed, excitement can overcome me whenever I get a new toy that my tendency is to just snap away. Not thinking much of how I should compose it. But to begin with a real photographer hardly have to think of composition. It will be innate in him. I still have a long way to go. 
The words oxycontin detox are not exactly the words that I would expect to come up when I search for portraiture photography forums over the internet. But interestingly one by such name came up on Flickr with very interesting shots.
Now I may not know anything about what oxytoxin is, but it sure made me contact again the gadget seller I bought my Canon S90 from. I will soon be purchasing a 35mm prime lens f/1.8G DX.
Portraiture and Food Photography are two of my main hope to learn this 2011. But before anything else, I am in dire need to hone my basic photography know hows. I am giving myself this month to run through the videos I took of my Basic Digital Photography class with Sir James Nicolay. It was in 2009 that I took the class and after almost 2 years, I still have not gone through the videos.
A shot taken by dear husband (please don’t mind my dark circles ). Our five year old son is such a joy to be around. There is never a dull moment when we are together. Even in the middle of the night and he would half wake to go to the washroom and pee and we’d throw a joke at him, he’d still smile with his half half closed. Now he is officially a First Grader and we are so thrilled for him. Most updates on our homeschooling journey can be found via ChristianHomeschooler.info.
This is the way my boys pass time. Our son is the sweetest! He does this all the time. We are sucking it all up, while he is still at it. I know boys have the tendency to clam up as they grow older.
