Photographing Kids Technique 3 - Use a Wide Aperture
Most cameras when switched to Program mode select a middle aperture - such as f5.6 or f8. This aperture is selected because it is likely to keep most of what you are photographing in sharp focus. However, if you are photographing a single subject, or perhaps two if they are sitting side by side, a wider aperture (which means a smaller aperture number such as f2.8, f2 or even f1.4) produces a fantastic effect for child portraiture. . . . keep reading

Photographing Kids Technique 1 - Go With The Flow
Children are like pets. I know we don't treat them as well as we look after our pets, but when you pull out your camera, they rarely do exactly what you want them to.

Lighting and Exposure
The key to the mood of a portrait is the light. If your subjects are not stationary, it's more difficult to control the lighting. If you are shooting indoors, you may be able to restrict a subject to an area with a nicer background and prearrange the lighting. This may be as simple as pulling back the drapes from a bay window and hanging a white sheet on the opposite wall to act as a big reflector or it may involve bouncing the light from a portable flash off any largish white reflective surface (to give a nice soft light source). Either way, if your camera is not set to Auto ISO, you might have to open the menu and manually set it to the highest ISO number (usually this is ISO 400). This effectively makes the 'film' more sensitive and will go some way in assisting you when there's little, or less light than you'd like. . . . keep reading

Portraits - Posing
While the word 'candid' suggests that you do not try to pose the subjects, few people can take great pictures in this way. Taking some control is more likely to produce consistently good results. There's a lot of worth in applying some of the golden rules of formal posing in candid situations. In those pictures involving several subjects, such as a family outing, careful direction can have a benefit if done discretely and quickly. Check these tips and see which you can apply to your situation: . . . keep reading
