Photographing Children - From a Child's Point of View     posted on 19th of june, 2008
Not a day goes by that I don't hear something profound from the mouths of babes. Photographing children for as long as I have, has given me a good bit of expertise. But I still learn something new everyday. My tiny subjects add laughter and joy to my life - not to mention a big portion of my income.

My last article was about observing your subject to capture the personality that you see before you - the mood that you see upon his arrival. (See my blog titled Photographing Children - Go With the Flow.) This time I would like for you to imagine the photo session from the child's point of view.

Very well written.
Enjoyed reading this. - posted by Joezachs on June 03, 2010

>When I photograph, I try to see beyond that which is in front of the lens. It's the intimate moments between loved ones - or - the thoughts that show on the face of an individual - or - the subtle meaning of an innocent touch that I strive to capture.

Technical proficiency is important in the creation of an exceptional photograph. But I feel so much more fulfilled when a person becomes comfortable enough with me to let me have a glimpse of what is in his/her heart.
