How to Photograph Children: Photography & Video Tutorial
" Today on The Slanted Lens we are photographing children for a commercial project at Prestige Preschool Academy. I will share some of the tips that I have learned over the years when it comes to photographing children. We will discuss how to get into their world quickly and produce the best images with the most efficient set ups. We will also look at how to quickly create the look of window light when shooting on the run. I want to move quick so we set a Dynalite power pack attached to a stand with a travel head. The pack was plugged into the new LP800 battery pack that we tied to the stand as the sand bag. Everything is now on one stand. It's fast and quick to move around. My assistant will power it up and down as we move around the room. Keep those cameras rolling and keep on clickn'. " - Jay P. Morgan
