Keep Your Eye On The Ball
Posted by colbygw on March 20, 2007
while posed shots are nice to have, you should try catching your pet in candid situations.
Something to consider:
I will always take a better photograph of your child than you will!
Not because I’m a better photographer than you, or because I have more or less experience than you. Its all because of this very simple reason. When a child (or a pet) sees something that excites them and they perk up to look.. of times, you (the loving parent) look as well to see what they’re looking at. The photographer, however, doesn’t care what the subject is looking at, because we’re busy hitting the shot!
Catch them when they don’t expect it. Catch them sleeping or when they are playing. If you try to hard and focus too much getting the perfect shot, you won’t have fun. Believe me, your success in this business RELYS on your attitude! This is one of the most important secrets you will get…. Ready?
HAVE FUN and Keep Your Eye On Your Subject!
