Podcast #39: Photographing Children in a Studio -- An Interview with Vik Orenstein (Part 1)
Master photographer Vik Orenstein tells us when to break the rules when it comes to photographing children -- and still get great results
Have you ever wondered why photographing children is such a tricky business? They squirm, they cry, and you never seem to know how to dress them or position them to keep them from looking like robots.
Vik Orenstein is known for her incredibly vivid and endearing photos of children, and we were fortunate enough to have her share some of her secrets -- including what the rules are and when they should be broken.
Photographing Children Means Making the Most of Opportunities
Photographing children is one of the topics we get asked about most often and this time was no different. We struggled to narrow the list down to just seven questions. Some of the information Vik had to share with us includes:
• The biggest mistake people make when photographing children.
• Vik's favorite poses for capturing a easy, "natural" look.
• The biggest myth about child photography.
• What outfits work best for individual and family shoots.
• How to avoid that frozen, deer-in-the-headlights expression and get your children to relax and enjoy being photographed.
