Yeah, I know what you mean. But I can always edit the background. I already airbrushed out the cupboard handles. I didn't have my backdrop then, either.

I always thought that the subject didn't have to be looking at the camera all the time?

Thanks for your opinion, though.

TBH every time I've seen a Photographer taking portrait pic's there forever getting the sitter to look at the Camera or somewhere near even to the point of having an assistant to aid in this endeavour especially when shooting children who get easily distracted.

Technique aside i like the shot's you have of the kids that don't look staged....039, 069 as examples

I must admit on countless occasions looking at a shot and wondering how on earth i missed that in the frame, I think this comes with experience, A pro will automatically see the background without consciously looking and adjust accordingly..


It's easy to click off kids in their natural surroundings but as Fen says they become a big distraction, Props and a willing assistant is on the shopping list...At least you already have some excellent subjects
