Child

Although children are arguably the most difficult subject to photograph, in my opinion, it is the most exciting and rewarding.

If you have your own or have been around young children long enough, you will know what I'm talking about. The term "Never work with animals or children" often come to mind when doing photography or film making. However, when done right, you will end up with photographs that will last forever and really capture the spirit of the moment.

I have seen mothers (and fathers) in tears of joy when they have seen some photographs of their children, and you cannot put a price on that kind of reaction!

Some tips on children photography:

1. Have them smile. (A smile is worth a million bucks, well not quite, but probably close)

2. Be ready. (Children are one of the most spontaneous and unpredictable subjects you can photograph, you never know what they will do next.)

3. Focus on the eyes (keep the eye contact and perfectly in-focus. They eyes can tell a story or reveal the character/personality of the child)
