Introducing parents and photographers to the equipment, materials, and strategies necessary to begin photographing children, this guide covers color, black and white, digital, hand painted, and other alternative photography techniques popular today. Photographs found throughout the book reinforce the instructions and show how the spirit and individuality of a child can be captured in pictures. In addition to the author's own photography, a number of other photographers' work is included in a gallery section to give the book a diverse, comprehensive look at a number of different styles and approaches to this genre.
