Hello to all my black and white artist friends. I hope you are doing well, today I came to serve you with another post.
Without further ado, let's go to today's post and another @monomad challenge.
Today's topic is photographing a mischievous little boy in a beautiful garden in autumn.
"Photographing children in the garden is a cool and joyful experience! When children play in the green space and flowers, there are many beautiful and funny moments. The garden with happy colors and sunlight is the best place to record these pure and unique moments. The photo we take tells a story of children's happiness and mischief.
But Mr. Sepehr did not cooperate well for his 2nd birthday, but we photographers never give up.
Since we were in autumn, I prepared a basket full of pomegranates for Sepehr to take and walk. But he did not do it against our wishes.
I liked the style and color of her clothes and Sepehr's mother always had good taste in this matter.
As you can see in the photo, he was only looking at the pomegranate basket so thoughtfully.
Beautiful sun was shining in the cool autumn air, but Sepehr did not cooperate.
I asked Sepehr's mom to walk in the garden so that maybe Sepehr gets to know me and the environment better and we can take some shots.
There was a symbolic wall with a traditional window and door at the end of the garden where I asked him to come and sit on a cut tree trunk and as you can see in the photo he just stared around and didn't like to do what we wanted.
During several months and maybe a year, I paid attention to the age of the children who came to me for photography. I noticed that children at the age of 2 did not cooperate well and 80% of them minimized the number of useful shots.
You will also see Sepehr's face that he bothered us while taking pictures😁😁😁.
We went around all corners of the garden and every time we wanted to divert Sepehr's attention around, in the beginning of the garden there was a pool in the middle that we could move around. We rotated Sepehr with my assistant around the pool, but the only photo that was useful was due to the flight of several migratory birds that distracted him and I shot this upward view.
I felt that Sepehr is tired and wants to sit down. This could be a positive option for me and his calmness. As soon as he sat down, I asked my assistant to bring a replica of his birth number and put it in front of him.
Since our photography time was extended due to Sepehr's non-cooperation, the weather got a little warmer. And by changing his clothes, we continued the photography.
Of course, due to the fact that the sunlight was getting higher and the shadows were gradually decreasing and the intensity of the light was greater. I took this photo of Sepehr in one of the narrow corridors of the garden. If you look carefully, in all the photos, he was only serious or frowning, or he was distracted.
If he had listened to our words, he would have become a handsome boy. His frown was also beautiful.
Oh, his frowns were attractive.
Patience is one of the keys to success when photographing restless children. Children are by nature energetic and unpredictable, and this can be challenging. Sometimes children are impatient, or they may be playing instead of posing. This is where patience comes into play. It works. I learned that any seemingly insignificant moment can turn into a great photo. So instead of worrying Besham, I enjoy every moment and let the kids be themselves. This way I not only get better photos, but also create a sweet and memorable experience for myself and the families.
Looking at Sepehr's photos in the next few years, these memories of him will be evoked in the mind.
Recording moments means this.
At the end of the photography session, I told Sepehr and his mom that I am waiting for them in another session with a more enthusiastic presence than Sepehr. This farewell was not only the end of a photography session, but also the beginning of a new friendship and more communication with Sepehr.
I am very happy that I shared these meetings with you friends and I would like you to share your experiences with me.
I wish you good days in these cold days in the warm family circle.
Goodbye until another photo session.
