Book Reviews of Photographing Children and Babies: How to Take Great Pictures
Book Review: A fantastic read
Summary: 5 Stars
Probably not the book for a professional photographer, however, I'm not a professional and Michael Herron didn't write this book for professionals. I just want to take great looking shots of my toddler and this book is fantastic in telling me how. I now understand about aperture, f/stops, shutter speed, light and the relevance of ISO. I have enjoyed reading this book and found a lot of my beliefs about photography were false, I never realised the pros took a heap of shots until they got that one they wanted! This book has taught me all the basics I need to know and helped to build my confidence to be able to take great shots. Thanks for such a wonderful book Michael Herron!
Summary of Photographing Children and Babies: How to Take Great Pictures
This family-friendly guide shows parents how to dramatically improve their baby photos and create beautiful, memorable albums without extensive experience, technical knowledge, or equipment. Featuring more than 150 striking examples of successful pictures, the book provides the skills and technique to create excellent portraits, action shots, group pictures and more. Written in an easy-to-understand, to-the-point tone, the book evolves from general to specific photographic concepts, with chapters including: seeing your children, the value of shooting close ups, portraits, capturing different moods, backgrounds and environments, film and editing, choosing b/w or colour, the technical side, and family photos. Dozens of tips and instructions for bringing creativity to kids' photos are featured, including posing and catching great non-posed shots, working with children as models, advice on equipment, and more. A chapter on "Tips for Photographing All Ages" gives recommendations on how to get the best pictures in all stages of a child's life. Special assignment forms help the reader go beyond good intentions, get organized, and fulfil their goal of excellent portraiture.General Books
