reminds me of Jill Greenberg's work that stirred up so much controversy.

I would pay to see videos of you (and all the other child photogs in this thread) in action. ;-) |
LOL!!! I usually ask parents what makes the kids laugh... sometimes it's funny noises, sometimes songs, sometimes clapping... I've even on occasion found myself dancing funny to make a kid laugh. If it were ever caught on tape, I'm sure you would cringe at the sight of it. ;) haha. |

Well, I am a child photographer who hates photographing her own children! LOL
The truth is, it's easier to with with other people's children, who are naturally curious about a new person with a shiny black camera. I ask parents to step away and let me bond with the child, and I use different tricks depending on the age.
My own children is a totally different story, they don't fall for any of my tricks and often don't want anything to do with me.

One thing that I have found that frequently works well when there are sibs is to tell the "problem child" that you don't want to take their picture and make them move out of area of shooting - even if it's just off to the side. Focus completely on the sib and ignore the other child, 8 out of 10 times, the problem kid will change their mind and decide that they want in on the action and will be reasonably cooperative.
I ran into just this problem during a Christmas photoshoot of 8 yo and 9 yo sisters - this trick worked like a charm.

This just worked for me a couple of weeks ago, although I hit on it by accident. The two year old flat out refused to sit still or look at me, so I ignored her & spent about 20 minutes arranging & shooting her 6 month old twin brothers. When we moved them off the backdrop for a diaper change, and I was concentrating elsewhere, I turned around to find her sitting very sweetly on the backdrop and looking at me like "MY turn" |
