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.
