Through the eyes of a child

Abstract

For children time in front of the camera should be fun time. Too often people force their children into their best clothes and put them into a strange studio with bright, warm lights, forcing them to smile for the camera. That can make them nervous and self-conscious and will conceal their personality. Children should be relaxed and natural and see the photographic session as a game. Most children like to be the centre of attention, and usually it is not difficult to encourage them to dress up for the camera. The aim in this script is to see children as they are - full of life, honest and future stars. Through a discussion of the author's images problems were also encountered and possible solutions are offered in this script.
