Child Photography Is Challenging And Satisfying

By Thelma Kent


Pittsburgh child photography displays all that is good in this specific aspect of the art form. Photographing children can be challenging but very fulfilling when successful at it captures a special time in life for both the child and their family.

The art and science of picture taking came from a combination of a few different scientific and technical developments. As far back as the fifth century BC, pin hole cameras were being described by Aristotle and Chinese philosopher Mo Di. Scientists of the seventeenth century explored how some chemicals were darkened by light, otherwise known as the photochemical effect.

In the early to mid nineteenth century, the modern form of the art began to take shape. A person was photographed for the first time in 1837. It was the beginning of portraiture photography. The technical process is the same for all, but taking a good portrait involves some specific approaches.

What makes a picture aesthetically pleasing in the mix of technical process and artistry. Artistry is crucial in the taking of portraits, particularly of children. There are four basic approaches to portrait photography. They include candid, creative, constructionist and environmental.

The environmental approach captures a subject in their environment, revealing a lot about personality. It could be a teacher in a classroom or a swimmer in a pool. A theme is created in the constructionist approach. The theme created could be anything. The key is that the picture conveys a message of some sort.

The creative approach lets the artist creatively manipulate the image, often with software on a computer screen. Candids occur often without the subject even knowing they are being captured. This approach can be a very authentic and honest view of the subject.

The Pittsburgh Child Photography scene is one filled with talent. Photographers of children are able to capture the personality of their subjects via a variety of the methods described above.
