[QUOTE="Robert Mitchell, post: 112650, member: 11282"] Hi Sam, I shoot kids when I have to.. LOL What I mean is that I really don't do children's portraiture and don't really enjoy it, but if I'm asked by a client that's already shooting with me then I'll do it. I do enjoy shooting kids at events where I can just be a fly on the wall and capture them just being themselves without any posing or need for direction of waiting for the perfect smile or the right temperament. Don't get me wrong. I love children but it's not my preference for portraiture. I believe I did post one shot of a cute kid at a house party I was shooting and I'll see if I have some others I can post. When it comes to lighting kids I tend to stay away from anything dramatic or with great contrast and generally speaking I like a nice large, soft diffused light source and a single bright round or square catch light in the eyes. EDIT: This was the shot I had posted here. Lighting is simple and straight forward. I used a 53" octa with double diffusion.
