Children are one of the most intriguing yet difficult
subjects to photograph. Whether you are a proud parent
who wants to capture the fleeting moments of childhood
or a professional photographer working with paying
clients, Photographing Childhood: The Image and the
Memory will give you the know-how and the inspiration
that you are looking for to create the perfect image.
Rich with emotion and creativity, this guide delivers
tips from a master photographer who has contributed to

and many others. Learn how to take photos that are
technically and compositionally sound; pictures that are
so gorgeous they'll fill up your walls, refrigerator,

subjects!).Before you know it you'll have a collection
of great shots that you'll want to share for personal or
professional purposes. You will not find a more
