What Should You Photograph When You’re Stuck at Home With the Kids? Some Inspiration for Photographers Young and Old
Summary
Your dog, cat, fish, turtle, and other pets are best photographed at home, where they feel safe. It’s a good experience where children and their parents are cooperating on taking pictures, inspiring each other, and just maybe building up mutual respect too. Try preparing a surprise for the shoot—an amusing question, a funny comment, or some shenanigans from your assistant that get a spark into your subject’s eyes. You and your children can discover what all there is out there to photograph and then play with the lighting of the scene—a lamp, a flashlight, candles… It’s a great way to have an adventurous, and above all fun, evening at home. That’s OK, just use what you’ve got at home—your phone or compact camera in its scene mode for macro, portrait, and other creative options.
