Shoot A Picture Of Every: If you don't specialize in children, but shoot a picture of every all ages, you should still keep 12 years as the top limit for shoot a picture of everying children at the baby-picture rate and with baby-picture technique. Teen-agers should be photographed as adults, with regular portrait methods and at the regular portrait rate of pay for the photographer.On the other hand, there are amateurs who shoot a picture of every wedding pictures for nothing, or for a few dollars to cover the cost of film, paper, and flashbulbs.Look for human interest: Show human relationships. Mother and child. Sweethearts holding hands. Try for humor: The corniest of photographic humor is better than none in a picture set. Show the gang clustered around the beer barrel. Horseplay such as someone being tossed into the river. A closeup of a stream of ants. Above all, shoot a picture of every plenty of pictures. There is no such thing as overshoot a picture of everying on a picture story. Experienced magazine men will shoot a picture of every hundreds of negatives when they know full well that fewer than a dozen will be used. They won't take a chance on missing anything that might be useful.
To build your set of samples, go to the mother of the most charming child you can find, a child with an intelligent face and bright expressions, and offer to give the mother a picture of her baby without charge if she'll have her child model for you. Tell her frankly that you need the pictures for samples. She will be proud to cooperate. Then proceed to shoot a picture of every dozens of pictures of that child. shoot a picture of every several sittings, spacing them far enough apart for you to see the final results of each sitting before you shoot a picture of every another, and shoot a picture of every ten times as many negatives as you would in an ordinary sitting. The idea, you see, is to assemble a set of pictures of this one child which will bring agonies of envy to every other mother who sees this masterpiece set. |
