Photographing the Child: Natural Light Portrait Techniques for Beautiful, Profitable Portraits

As an amateur, I really appreciate how this book addresses many levels of photographic talent. The book incorporates readability while not sacrficing the quality of the instruction. The content is practical for anyone, but, at least from my perspective, still seems sophisticated enough to help someone with advanced skills. I look forward to using this book as I continue to grow as a photographer.

First of all thank you to Jennifer for her approach.I would like to highlight five areas of this book1.Proview, the feedback or insight from several photographers explaining their own approach or what they look for.2. Composition, new photographers often times do not understand composition and the rule of thirds, and to me this helps change from a PICTURE to a PORTRAIT.3.Post Production, the tools to use and what your mindset needs to be or to be aware of.4. Natural Light photography and how to use Reflectors and scims to obtain the best photographic results and not just have snapshots, great painters understood light.5. Break down of what to do by age range.Now take all of these elements she has put together. Keep in mind there is even more to this book.

If you're just getting started with child photography or a seasoned pro, this book has something for everyone. It starts with the basics and takes you through all aspects and workflow of the shooting process. From preschool to high school, the author covers it, bringing to light situations and logistics that I never would have thought of as an advanced amateur photographer. Like other books from this author, I would highly recommend this one.

A must read for all photographers whether you are professional or just starting out. Refreshing ideas, reminders on how to, and an amazingperspective through the journey of photography. It covers every aspect from emotion, to light, techniques, colors, you name it...it is there!A must read! Great and beautiful book from various photographers eyes to you! You couldn't find a better book!

"Photographing the Child" addresses the challenges and rewards of photographing children from preschool through high school. It covers consultation, posing and composition, in addition to natural lighting. As with all of Jennifer George's books, it is filled with useful tips and great image examples. A must-read for new photographers, I also recommend it for the experienced photographer.

I love this book. So helpful and gives so many great advice and tips on how to photography my children when I am taking pictures of them. I thought it was incredible. I couldn't believe how useful it was. It was a great purchase.

The book was a gift and was selected based on reviews of others. These reviews in my opinion are misleading. The focus of this book was for someone who would be interested in establishing a business of taking portraits of children. Only a few pages were useful for taking photos of children.The book was well written and the input from other professionals support the authors focus. However, this book is not for the causal photographer, parent, or grandparent desiring to enhance skills of photographing children in a range of settings such as group play, singing in choir, school programs, and indoor and outdoor activities.The rating is based on the reviews of others and not the book.
