Posted in Photo Tips Tags: , , , , , 2 comments

Most of the time photographing a newborn can be challenging and somewhat unpredictable. In this article I’ve listed some useful Baby Photography Tips For Infants And Newborns that can make your sessions go as smoothly as possible.

Tips #1 Learning The Location

If this is a location shoot, you will probably want to visit the home first, so you can check out the windows and be sure that you will have adequate light. If this is not possible, ask the parents what the lighting is like for the particular time of day that your sitting is scheduled.

Tips #2 Discuss The Wardrobe

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER TIPS – SAN JOSE

Posted in Photo Tips Tags: , , , 1 comment

It is so important to capture your newly born baby as soon as you can as they change so rapidly in the first few weeks. You might decide to let a professional photographer capture this precious moment for you, or indeed a family member of yourself. Which ever way you choose its important to get it right. I have listed below some key points which I hope will help you.

1. Timing – Choose a time when baby has slept and just had a feed as this is when baby will be best. For newborns it does not matter if they fall asleep as you can create some wonderful artistic shots this way.

2. Light – Look for nice bright space in your home that lets in lots of natural light, this will help you get much softer images, plus you will not need to use the flash, most cheap digital cameras now will let you turn it off.

3. Cropping – Parents love nice close up images of their new baby, to create a good composition try to keep the eyes about a third down from the top of the frame, this will crop the top of the head off but your final image will look better than trying to keep the whole head in.

Professional Baby Photographer – SAN JOSE

Posted in Uncategorized Tags: , , , , No comments

I am a pro photographer, I take portraits of babies on a daily basis, and often explain the importance of having some professional baby photography.

When my daughter was born I suddenly became aware of a common problem, was it just me or was I the only apparent lazy father in the world! There I was taking loads of pictures on my compact digital and on my iPhone, pleased with myself with a mass catalogue of Daisy’s precious first few weeks. I would often sit down and look through the files on the camera and phone, seeing how much she had changed. It was only a few weeks later that I became public enemy number one in the household. One day as I was again browsing through the images, my lovely wife mentioned in passing, “it’s about time we had some of those printed for the album”, I just nodded or made a noise to what she had said. I sat and thought about this for a few seconds and thought to myself, I must choose the best ones to print off as it will of course be cheaper and why do we need all the funny looking ones! This is when it all started…

Photography Composition Tips For Better Portraits

Posted in Photo Tips Tags: , , , No comments

A good photographer usually has a good eye for composition and creates unique pictures every time. Some say you’re born with this gift, but I believe anyone can learn good composition skills. It’s called practice.

When we’re learning to compose good shots, we can get some wonderful creative ideas by looking at others’ work. It’s not that we want to copy their style, instead we need to absorb and remember the ideas and concepts; then apply that knowledge when we create our own images. Here are a few Photography Composition Tips that will help take your photography from ordinary to extra-ordinary.

Learn the Basics

There are many wonderful resources out there either on the web or in book form that can help you learn the basics of photography. You need to know how to work your camera so you get the proper exposure. Knowing how to use your shutter speed, f-stops and ISO settings are important to achieve the shots you envision in your mind. Choosing the proper lens also takes a bit of thinking and using a tripod is a must in certain situations.
