02 Jul 10 Baby Photography – Photographer is Born with the Baby
Are you often seen running to grab that digital camera which has become your soul-mate off late? Have you developed a passion for photography suddenly with the arrival of your little one? That is an exciting sign of the birth of a new baby photographer.
Capturing Few Months Old Baby
It is pure fun to capture your baby’s first yawn, first smile, first crying, and all of those first moments that give you immense pleasure. In its first few weeks the baby is asleep most of the time which makes it easy to photograph. After a couple of months the baby becomes fidgety. That is when the real challenge begins. Clicking at that very instant when the baby is about to roll on its tummy or glow up with an innocent smile definitely rewards you.
The Baby Grows Quickly
Once your bundle of joy begins crawling, baby photography becomes a task comparable to wild-life photography. You need to adopt point-and-shoot approach in order to take multiple shots ‘in action’. The baby on all its fours with food-smudged face and soiled clothes makes for some real funny pictures. If you too join your baby on the floor, the result can be truly awesome.
Using Props and Light
You can have best results of your baby shoots in natural light or even in a room which is full of natural light and uncluttered with light background. To click some desired poses, you can use props such as car chair, table and chair, toys, and food. The ever changing expression of your baby’s face can be captured efficiently with your partner tickling the baby or making faces at the baby behind your back.
You need not be an expert photographer. Some innovative ideas, knowledge of perspective and light make you adept at baby photography. Your collection not only serves as memento down the memory lane, but also acts as a keepsake gift for posterity.
