PHOTOGRAPH....INFANTS/CHILDREN--THE EASY & DIFFICULT SUBJECT


I have encountered many studios and the pro not taking assignment to photograph infants or a child...

I also faught with an incident when the boy being forcibly photographed by the parents...they wanted to send his photographs to relations outside...The boy kept weeping and the mother was furious....i tried to console her, she replied that he does like this and i cannot get him photographs....and lo....the child came down from the small chair and bleeding from nose....I was worried about the mother's disgustment....At last they had to depart for another time.

In another the 3 yr old boy will throw aways all toys, chairs and jump with laughter...he was another kind...the mother and father were happy (see contrast from above), consoling the photographer.....''wait sir, he will be right in moments'' and after half an hour's torture to the photographer, the coupled left with no good photograph to be hanged on the wall.

Another saying goes ''one way to get in to the hearts of every mother is to take lovely photographs of her children.''.....and in this tough competition with camera's in every hand, u have to come out successful with a dozen excellent photographs.....THERE is no doubt that a children's photographer in many was has to be a psychologist.
