ABSTRACT
Babies are the least
self-conscious people. The
main problem with these
young subjects is how to
maneuver or support a
young baby so they are not
just shown lying down. Try
photographing over the
shoulder of the supporting
adult, or have the baby
looking over the back of
an armchair. Avoid direct,
harsh sunlight. If your
camera offers a zoom lens,
set this to its longest focal
Figure 17.1 Candid photography requires quick work and a sense of anticipation in order to capture the fleeting expressions that can sum up the character of a subject or the feeling of the moment.
