BABY PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Baby portraiture is one of our favorite subject at this time around. Or should we say a ‘gateway’ subject beside wedding. For a fulltime photographer, having a second interest helps you to stay focus and get you always in line to always pick up new things (creative angles, colors etc.)  Well, at least for us both.

Playing with a TLC subject, we shoot out ONLY with available light. Playing with flash would hurt their eyes because they are still very delicate. So, when you’re taking your baby picture, no flash please. A quick 30 minutes shootout could give us a quick exercise .. hahaha! We could seriously sweat from all the playing and chasing.Our nephew, Irfan Rayyan who is 8 month young is by far our most favorite baby subject, he is so used to be in front of our camera so the time adjusting can be cut short and we could focus more on the shooting.

A quick tips, Babies photography; learning your subject is the first rule that you must follow before you could even hold up your camera in front of their face.  Learn the subject and learn in this case is get to know them up close and personal, spend time withe them so they could get to know you. Set up your mental image (what and how you want your picture to look like) before involving them. Pre-visualize everything.

When you get those in your head, test all the shots without them first and when you get the desired results, then only you place your subject there. At this time around, you have to act fast before he got moody or uncomfortable unless if that is your aim (taking his pictures screaming or crying) Having an assistant would help hence in thephotomama that is what we always preach, parents are the best photographer for their kids. One could be the one clicking the shutter and the other one could be the ‘clown’ creating the mood for your subject to smile, laugh and etc.

Try it!

Note: Another wedding this week to celebrate Nurul & Heri’s love for each other. We just finish wrapping up with their Pre Wedding sessions. They are cool people to be around with.
