The boy who saw the camera 📸 PhotoFeed Contest - Portrait Photography Round 42
Taking pictures of newborns is the most complicated thing I've ever had to do as a photographer.
It's supposed to be easy to take a simple portrait of a child who barely moves, but newborns spend a lot of time sleeping and, just like us adults, they don't wake up in the best mood or with the best face.
As soon as they wake up they are very restless and rarely look at the camera, because everything around them is distare and new to them.
Of the many pictures I took of this little angel (over 300) only in a couple of them did he look at the camera and this is one of those pictures.
The experience was stressful, because normally I'm used to get more than 80% of good pictures and this time I think I got closer to 20%.
The session lasted about 4 hours, the editing took a lot more hours, due to the fact that children's skin has a lot of skin and you have to carefully edit their look to make them look their best.
With this photo I wanted to join the 📸 PhotoFeed Contest - Portrait Photography Round 42 with a post where I narrate part of what happened during the session of the newborn son of a cousin who I asked to let me take these photos to experiment how easy or difficult they were to make.
I don't think I have the expertise to achieve the classic poses one can get on networks like Pinterest. I honestly tried the baby positions, but none of them came out. It takes practice and a lot of patience to pull off those poses and make everything look fascinating.
Although I didn't get as many good photos as I wanted, the few that were good, I liked them a lot. I usually demand a lot from myself, I clarify this because my cousin loved all the photos, and what I express here is my perception as a photographer, within the logic of the composition and the right moment.
Greetings and blessings.
Hacer fotos de recién nacidos es lo más complicado que me ha tocado hacer como fotógrafo.
Se supone que realizar un simple retrato a un niño que casi no se mueve, deberÃa ser fácil, pero los niños recién nacidos pasan mucho tiempo durmiendo y, al igual que nosotros los adultos, no se despiertan con el mejor humor o la mejor cara.
A penas se despiertan son muy inquietos y rara vez miran a la cámara, porque todo lo que está al rededor de ellos los distare y es nuevo para ellos.
De las muchas fotos que le tomé a este pequeño ángel (más de 300) solo en un par de ellas miró a la cámara y esta es una de esas fotos.
La experiencia fue estresante, debido a que normalmente estoy acostumbrado a obtener más de un 80% de buenas fotos y en esta ocasión creo que me aproxime al 20%.
La sesión duró unas 4 horas, la edición duró muchÃsimas horas más, debido a que la piel de los niños tienen muchos pellejos y hay que editar cuidadosamente su aspecto para que luzcan lo mejor posible.
Con esta foto quise unirme al 📸 PhotoFeed Contest - Portrait Photography Round 42 con un post donde narrara parte de lo ocurrido durante la sesión del hijo recién nacido de un primo al que le pedà que me dejara hacer estas fotos para experimentar qué tan fácil o difÃcil eran de realizar.
No creo tener la pericia necesaria para lograr las clásicas poses que uno puede conseguir en redes como Pinterest. Sinceramente intenté las posiciones del bebe, pero no me salió ninguna. Se requiere de práctica y mucha paciencia para llevar a cabo esas poses y que todo luzca fascinante.
Pese a que no conseguà tantas buenas fotos como querÃa, las pocas que me salieron bien, me gustaron bastante. suelo exigirme mucho, lo aclaro porque a mi primo le encantaron todas las fotos, y lo que expreso acá es mi percepción como fotógrafo, dentro de la lógica de la composición y el momento preciso.
Saludos y bendiciones.
