I get it. Taking pictures of your own kids can be challenging (especially if you’re a photographer) They’re tired of having that camera in front of their face all the time. They want to play. They have other agendas They don’t want you telling them what to do.  So how are you ever going...
Hi Emily, absolutely love Ur tutorials. May I ask what speed do u shoot those awesome pictures of Ur son on skate board? And what trick do u use together him on sharp focus?
Thanks so much! Most of these were shot at 1/640 at 2.5 and 100 iso ??
Your photos are amazing! The people you photograph look like they stand out. How do you get that look? Is it the lens you use?
Thanks so much Vicki!My favorite lens to use is the 135mm 2.0, that does help me get a consistent look:)
My Suggestions:
Anticipate – try and second guess what they are about to do and where they are about to go. Then get your camera lined up and focused. e.g. You spot a puppy heading their way or a fallen log that is too irresistible not to climb.
Set traps – Don’t ask them to pose. be more subtle. e.g. Surprise them with a giant cardboard box, then say “I bet you can’t fit inside that!”
Great suggestions! Love your “traps” idea:)
