Critique Required Baby shooting

[Aldous Lau]

Ok, this is really my first time for baby shooting. Pls feel free to comments so I can improve and alert what I need to pay attention next time. These photos were took by Fujifilm XE1 with 35mm F1.4, thanks

 

[Pete Askew]

Very cute and the last one is very nice indeed. I am no expert at this and I'm sure others will be able to pass on some advice. Although I can imagine it would be difficult, some looking to camera would be nice.

 

[Brian Moore]

These are nice, and as Pete says the last one is very nice. I'm no expert either and I have to agree with Pete again on the eye contact.

 

[Aldous Lau]

Thanks Pete and Brain. Do you guys have any comments about capture, details, contrast etc

 

[Pete Askew]

The contrast seems OK to me. Chris will probably be the best to comment though as he has more experience and Asun (who specialises in this type of thing) if she logs in. I'll nudge her but she goes on holiday soon.

 

[Aldous Lau]

thanks Pete. that will be nice if Asun could advise her comments whenever she is free. looking forward for her comments

Well I looked at the photos and indeed I could tell they were of babies so that seems good enough to start with.
1 & 4 are particularly good I think. I saw a photographer at work photographing a baby and he waved a bright coloured toy above his camera and made loud pee-a-boo noises. That seemed to help with the eye contact.

I agreed that waving a bright colored toy will help with the eye contact, thanks Paul
