Photo Seminar

I’m teaching a two-part seminar on children’s photography at the University of West Florida starting this Saturday. I would like to share two fundamental, but often forgotten, tools to good child pictures:

1. Capture your child doing what they love, and do it from different angles. Here is my daughter, who LOVES gymnastics, let’s say Gumby’s got nothing on her. See how you do a double take and are drawn into the photograph with this angle?

2. Building on the first tool, get in their faces from different angles. Their faces will look very different depending on your vantage point. Notice how different Sophia looks from these two angles? 

 

If you would like to register for the class, bear in mind that it is two parts. The first class will focus on talking about the basic principles of good captures and then leaving with homework. The second Saturday, to take place in two weeks, will involve everyone bringing their homework back for critique and analysis with more tips. Call UWF by Wednesday, there are still a few available slots.
