Proud of my three students who have shown they really have an eye for photographing kids & families. Look at their pictures!!!! This blogpost has ONLY their pictures and I really think that nobody would tell that they were not taken by a professional children photographer with many years of experience. ❤❤❤ Stina was a mom who loved photography, but had never shot it professionally. Elin & Jenny were thinking of taking their photography business to the next level, though still as a side job from their “real-jobs”. We had some basic rules for the day: -we would go through the camera’s most important buttons and how to use them -we would ONLY shoot manual during this day -we would learn how to shoot with backlight to avoid ugly shadows -we would learn how to overexpose our pictures a tiny bit -we would shoot EVERYTHING that happened during a photoshoot, not only what was happening in front of the camera but all around it -we would learn how to choose the best backgrounds -we would learn how to use your best shot in 1000 ways -we were forbidden to say SMILE, SHOW US YOUR TEETH OR HUG EACH OTHER (unless it was the last picture you would take for the day!) -we would see the wonders post-processing and resizing could do to our pictures -AND WE WOULD HAVE SUPER FUN AND LET OURSELVES BE LIKE CHILDREN AGAIN! What this really shows is that everything can be learned. That if we know the basic technique on how to use our cameras as “our helpers” when we shoot children, the only thing we need to concentrate on is on the CONNECTION. And yes, that was the hardest part for us. I say us because I had actually never thought about how I connect with my families and the kids I shoot. By letting the girls try shooting them on their own, I realized that that’s the part I really need to learn how to pass along. So we have booked two more dates, JUNE 30TH and AUGUST 18TH and there the focus will be on the practical side of the CONNECTION. How to connect with the kids so they are on your side throughout the shoot? How can you make them do exactly what you have in mind (and the parents wish for) without actually telling them what to do? If you want to test this out and take your photography to the next level, don’t forget to book your favorite date as soon as you can, because I will just open 10 spots at each time, to be sure I have time to help each and everyone of you with your personal questions! ;-) You can read more about our workshop HERE If you leaven anywhere else than Stockholm and would like me to come to you, just drop me a line. If we have at least five participants, we can make anything happen! ;-) A SUPER BIG THANKS FOR SARA & FREDRIK & NELLY & CARL & SIMBA who were our models for the day. And also to JOAR & ELSA that got to tell us all about the Melodifestivalen and went along all the crazy games we wanted to play with them….;-) ELIN’S PICTURES:
