Kids fashion photography is a lot different from regular fashion photography. With smaller subjects and a shorter attention span, it is vital that photographers working with kids understand the best strategies to collaborate with them, while still using their experience and skills to their fullest capabilities.

When it comes to taking photos with kids and kids fashion photography, the professional photographers at Design Identity apply the following tips.

Get Down on Their Level.

One of the best ways to get good shots of kids is to get down on their level. This way you will be able to see their faces better and capture their expressions more easily. If you are too tall, they may feel intimidated and this will show in the photos.

Use Props.

Props can be a great way to get kids to interact with the camera and feel more comfortable. They can also help to set the scene and create a certain look or feel for the photos. Talk to the parents beforehand about what kind of props they would like to use and make sure you have them ready before the shoot.

Make it Fun!

If the kids are having fun, it will show in the photos. Remember to keep things light and playful, and don’t put too much pressure on them. With younger kids especially, it is important not to expect too much from them – they will likely get tired or lose interest quickly if they feel like they are being “worked” too hard.

At Design Identity, we make sure our fashion photography is top notch quality, even with models that are more difficult to work with than the average. You can trust us to produce a great fashion photography campaign for your brand.
