The photographer watches and waits

“Photographing children requires total attention to their state of mind—a state that changes constantly from smiles to tears to wonder. These glimpses of magic slowly unveil, but illusively disappear the moment the photographer tries to capture them. Like an audience engrossed in the subtle character shifts of an actor, the photographer watches the child and waits for cues. “
~Cheryl Machat Dorskind
From my book, The Art of Photographing Children

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Join me for my online class, “Photographing Children: Rising to the Challenge”
