Book description
Start with the kid! This sounds obvious when photographing
children, but many images start with a couch in a field, or a tutu
the size of Montana. What do these props have to do with the child
you are photographing?
In this funny and beautifully illustrated guide, photographer
Allison Tyler Jones provides inspiration and practical techniques
for photographers to effectively capture kids in beautiful light.
She challenges readers to go a little deeper in their thought
processes and to be more personal, more thought provoking, more
humorous, and more real.
From a practical, photographer’s perspective, this guide
approaches studio and on location lighting with a mix of technical
information and advise on how to apply these ideas while working
with subjects that are shy, sulking, showing off, or constantly in
motion.
Readers will learn about:
Five Ms lighting concept–mood, main, measure, modify, and move–and how to include them into a decision-making process.
Selecting a light source, setting the camera to sync, and triggering the flash.
White seamless backgrounds and practical considerations for hanging and using them in your studio.
Directing the shoot and how to work with kids, clients, and even pets.
Choosing props with integrity, clothing suggestions, and styling the shoot.
Decisions about setting and lighting on location.
Finishing the job you started with presentation of your product to your clients.
