Shooting Babies

Anders — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:46:18 +0000

Shooting babies is something most photographers dread, but with a little planning and consideration it can be both fun and relatively painfree for both photographer and baby.

Some of the basic rules to follow are: Have enough babies! Most babies tire quickly, so they must have short sessions. It is better to book more babies for shorter sessions. Listen to the modelagency and to the mothers, let them suggest the time when their baby should be booked, so as to avoid conflict with nap times.

Keep the crew as small as possible and the shooting environment baby friendly. Have the shot set up, tested and approved, before the first baby even arrives. Remain calm…and instruct your client to remain calm, even if the babies start crying. Remember, if you are tense, the baby will pick that up immediately, so keep calm! If your clients gets tense and worried about their shoot, suggest that they take a coffee break. Give the crying baby a small break and let the baby get used to the situation. Use soft toys, funny voices and make faces, what ever it takes to get the shot.

If a baby, for whatever reason, does not want to play, thank the family kindly for their time and bring in the next baby. All babies are different, what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow, be inventive, playful and have fun…there is a good chance the baby will like that, and give you the shot you promised the client.

Petit by Sofie Schnoor AW2010

Anders — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:19:17 +0000

Working with a client over several seasons offers a unique opportunity to explore and develop a visual style unique to the brand. With Sofie Schnoor I have had this priviledge. The challenge is to maintain the things that worked well in previous seasons, but at the same time refine and develop the look. This year we wanted to maintain the sense of melancholia, but also let the kids be authentic, real kids. More of the poses and looks came from the kids themselves.

Look out for the catalogue in print or on the website www.petitbysofieschnoor.com.

Poppy and Ned AW2010

Anders — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:33:12 +0000

I was asked to shoot the AW2010 collection for a very interesting new client Poppy and Ned London. We shot in an old Vicarage in a village in Nottinghamshire, an awesome location. We had real snow, lovely kids and a great day out.

It was a cold days shooting, but kids, parents and crew kept a great attitude, warmed by cups of hot tea and sandwiches.

Petit by Sofie Schnoor SS10

Anders — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:43:00 +0000

We recently completed SS10 for Petit by Sofie Schnoor, in a wonderful country house. Sofie is always pushing to develop and renew her visual expression which makes my job really interesting. There has always been a sense of romantic melancholy in Sofies images, but this year we wanted to expand the range of emotions, even allowing ourselves to go borderline kitch. I think the way to avoid melodrama becoming kitch is to believe in the shoot and take the emotions serious. The kids were great, very patient and blissfully unaware of the storyline we were making up around the images.

Directing kids is always interesting, most often you must NOT ask for what you want, but try to suggest it in a way that it feels spontaneous when it does happen.
