8 Tips for Photographing babies

Move over Anne Geddes, armed with a huge pumpkin, a sunflower and the guide below, I am going to take over the baby photography market.

Actually, I have had some success with baby photos before, but it is another job I wouldn’t want to do full time. I was lucky, young Jack was a fine looking little fellow (see photo below) and he had character from the moment I saw him. It was also a very laid back shoot, at the hospital he was born at, which made things even easier.

On the flip side to that. Can you imagine what some mothers are like? They would be directing you to make their baby look like an angel, and lets face it, there are some bloody ugly babies around. (I know, Satan may as well reserve me a spot for that comment.) Admit it, you have seen an ugly baby, there are too many of them for you not to have. Luckily, mothers are so overflowing with hormones, they usually think their child is a cherub, and it doesn’t matter if you dressed the baby in a hessian sack and plonked it on a welders bench, they would probably be happy. But there would still be the odd one that would make your life hell.

So if you still want to get into baby photography, click the link below.

100 or so iconic portraits.

Here are 100 very good portraits. Well, not all of them are actually that good to be honest, but there are some interesting choices in there. Who knew Bono’s real name is Paul Hewson! Paul from U2 nearly makes him sound human. And it is the 1st time I have seen such a clear shot of Adolf Hitler. Well worth a look.
