‘Photography is like a baby that needs to be fed all the time. It is always hungry. It needs to be read to, taken care of.’ – Annie Liebovitz

If like myself you’ve been following the Top Model reality show, for the photo shoots of course, and also wondering why models, chefs, fashion designers, hair stylists, dancers and even washed up Hollywood celebs all get their own reality shows, but never photographers. Well the good news is, that finally we’re about to get our own.
The not so good news is that’s it’s being produced by Playboy TV which would means discretion will need to be used for those next day synopsis chats. Oh, and we’ll never admit that we actually watch it.

If you’re a fan of Contemporary Australian Photography and happen to be living or visiting Melbourne in September then make sure you pop over to The Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) for a great fix of inspiration.

As new students shuffle through our doors on first night of any workshop, one of the most common reasons for being there is wanting to photograph theirs or someone else’s kids, better. Putting aside the tech stuff, apertures, shutter speeds, white balances and ISO’s there is still much to do in getting them behaving naturally for your camera, and knowing when to capture it.
Here’s a post I came across from my favourite source of inspiration, PDN Online, which covers some of the changing trends in kid photography as well as giving you some invaluable directional tips. Unfortunately to read the full feature you need to subscribe for the service but this little teaser is still very worthy of a read.
‘As families become more kid-centered, children are showing up more often in almost all categories of editorial photography, from cooking to fashion to architecture and interiors. The esthetics of kids photography is also evolving. The genre is still dominated by an idealized view of childhood, where children look sweet and happy. But clients are starting to test those boundaries by staging images less, and showing the physical and emotional messiness of kids’ lives a little more.’ reprinted from PDN feature story
