Anyone who has photographed children knows: kids dont really do posing. But, as the photographer, its your job and your responsibility to deliver lasting, impactful images in which kids look great. More importantly, the goal is to create photographs of kids that are authentic, engage their spirit, and convey their unique personalities.So how do you get beyond the cheese smile? How do you harness the wild energy of a kid who wont stop moving? How do you create energy and dynamism with a kid who just seemsbored and not into it? How do you do all that and achieve a compelling composition with flattering light and the proper exposure?Tamara Lackey has been photographing children and families for years, and in The Posing Playbook for Photographing Kids, she teaches you her strategies and techniques for successfully posing and photographing children. The book begins with a discussion of organic posing, an approach to directing the subject that focuses on making small adjustments that build up to a successful shot. Tamara moves on to the psychology of photographing children, covering how to read your subjects, work with different personality types, and elicit genuine engagement. She also discusses gear, accessories, composition, lighting, and camera settings.Then, in five chapters that are the real core of the book, Tamara tackles typical shooting scenarios and works through each kind of shoot, explaining what worked, what didnt, and how each shoot progresses from start to finish. Covering the real-world challenges youll face when photographing children, Tamara discusses photographing children in the studio, in urban settings, on commercial and fashion shoots, in outdoor natural settings, and in groups. At the end of each of these chapters, she provides a handy reference guide of poses to fuel and inspire your shoots.TABLE OF CONTENTSIntroductionChapter 1: Organic PosingChapter 2: The Psychology Behind Photographing ChildrenChapter 3: Gear and AccessoriesChapter 4: Framing, Lighting, and SettingsChapter 5: What to Keep in Mind When Finalizing a ShotChapter 6: In StudioChapter 7: Urban SettingsChapter 8: Commercial and Fashion ShootsChapter 9: Outdoor Natural SettingsChapter 10: Posing Children Together

Introduction

I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY. I LOVE THE WORK I DO, the way I am able to do it, and the people I get to spend time with while I stay focused on consistently getting better at my job. And the reason all of that is true is because Ive been able to stop and confidently define my style. Not right away, though. Initially, I defined it mostly by what it was not, a pretty common approach to defining ones photographic style. Ive also failed at enough approaches to be able to rule out quite a bit!

Over time, though, I have come to recognize what I most naturally bring to the table, how that has always been reflected in my style of shooting, and how to better incorporate it into my photo shoots going forward. I know what fundamentals are required in order for me to succeedand I have practiced them all again and again.

At the root of my style of shooting is a combination of traditional posing that morphs into something quite natural and beautiful through spirited engagement, light-hearted adjustments, and a concerted effort to find the authentic. I want to share much of that with you throughout this book.

In 2003, when I first started shooting professionally, I mostly saw traditional poses in the work that was being produced around me. Generally speaking, these portraits struck me as stiff, unnatural, and sometimes even boring. The poses were often elegant, no doubt. The backdrop could be quite lovely, and the lighting techniques were often well-executed. I admired those aspects a great dealeven more so over time, actually. But these assets were often just repeated in portrait after portrait, so much so that it looked like the only thing swapped from image to image was the actual subject. Thus, from my perspective, the subject appeared to be a rather insignificant part of a repeated portrait. More apparent than all of that, though, was the lack of emphasis on expression. I was struck by that most because it is something that is more significant to me than anything else in a portrait.

In contrast, I was excited to pursue a fresh and unique approach to traditional portraiture, which included more dramatic black-and-white tones, vibrant color, and a major emphasis on storytelling, emotion, and authenticity. This genre of photography was soon referred to as contemporary photography, or later, lifestyle photography. The concept was not just to photograph someones likeness, but to try to capture their spirit as welltheir personality, their emotion, and many of the inherent characteristics they possessed that felt real and true.
