Customer Reviews

very great book!

this is a great book on photographing children. I bought this by a friend's recommendation, and was not disppointed. Douglas Box goes picture by picture, telling you how to achieve certain results. He even tells you how to act to get different responses. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this book. It is an easy read, and is easy to go back and find a certain topic. I am very glad I bought it!

Very Good Book!

This book was very helpful to me! Mr. Box not only shows how to set up lights, background, and camera for the picture, he also tells how to talk to children and get them relaxed to take pictures. I love to photograph children, and it's very difficult to get many children to look natural in a pose. Mr. Box gives suggestions on how to get the child to pose naturally, and how to get a beautiful picture that shows the child's personality. His tips on lights and lighting were very helpful to me. This is the best book on child photography that I've read so far.

Professional Secrets for Photographing Children

The most inspirational photography book I have read. This book is the manual for all photographers who desire to create heirloom style portraits of children instead of the standard studio shots. Doug has filled the book full of photographs and the necessary information to produce such lovely imagery. Through out the book, Doug has included helpful hints on how to get the results you want while working with children. This book will be a reference of mine for years to come.

A great learning tool
