It has
often been said that a picture is worth a thousand words.
A special twinkle in a child's eye, a shy smile, or a far
away stare can provide the viewer with a peek into the child's
personality.

TAKING
PICTURES |
|
| |
The wonderful
thing about pictures is that they are easy to take. With just
a little practice, anyone can take flattering pictures that
offer a true reflection of a child's condition, while showing
off their sparkle.
Avoid
simply using school photographs. Follow the tips below and
take great pictures of your own!

PHOTO
TIPS |
|
| |
| • |
The easiest and best pictures are taken outdoors. |
| • |
Take the picture so that the sun neither falls directly
on your subject's face nor into your lens.
Here are some quick guidelines:
| Sunny
out - |
Place
the child in the shade |
| Sunny
out and no shade - |
Turn
the child so that the sun is hitting his or her
back |
| Overcast
day - |
Pictures
may be taken anywhere |
| Indoors
- |
Use
a flash and make sure that you have the appropriate
film |
|
| |
|
| • |
Get a range of distances (e.g., close-ups, middle-distance,
full body with child doing something). |
| • |
Get a range of expressions (e.g., serious, smiling, laughing). |
| • |
For siblings, get both group and individual shots. (Make
sure the photos are well labeled so that it is clear which
child is which). |
| • |
Choose comfortable clothes with bright colours. |
