More Research into Child Photography


This photo is really cute. I like the idea of placing the child in unusual surroundings like this.


I love this photo, an image like this would be so difficult to capture. Although this image appeals to me, I am not interested in just taking photos of cute kids. I want my photos to say more than that.


I like the idea of using close-up or cropped shots like this. If I chose to run with my theme, it could be quite interesting (for instance) to show a close-up of a child's foot inside an adult's high heeled shoe or something along those lines. This would be a more subtle or abstract way of showing my theme.


This photo fits in with my theme in a different way, dressing a child to look like an adult. I really like the angle of this photo and angles are something I should definately look into when shooting my next photos. Looking down on the child in this way makes them look smaller, which I think works really well.


I really like the lighting of this photograph and the ambiguity of it. You wouldn't really know what it was about or what the child was looking at unless it was part of a series or had a caption attached. I like the idea of photography that makes you think and is not really obvious.


Once again, I like the idea of the close-up shot on body parts. I think this photo has a really interesting viewpoint and I like the use of colour. At first, I thought it might be nice to use really bright colours and high contrast in my photographs, but I would also like to explore the option of using black and white, photo filters or a selected colour range in my series of photographs.


This is also a very cute photograph, but I really like the lighting that is used. It creates a really soft effect which is very appropriate to young children. I also think the use of colour (or lack of) works really well.
