I suppose I see as many or probably more baby photos as the next guy…why you might be asking? Because I have four kids and two grandkids, and my wife has two kids and five grandchildren which would seem to qualify me as a semi-expert on baby photos.
That’s not counting the times when someone shows me their kids on their phones…ad nauseam!!
If you’re at all interested in showing off your kids/grandkids and not having the person you’re showing them to break out in hives, then here’s a great tip for you and it relates to one of the six concepts of Gestalt I teach online both in my six-month private Zoom program and in my “Stretching Your frame of Mind” workshops I conduct around our planet…the concept is called Closure.
So, the next time you’re in a position to photograph one of your kids or grandkids, think about this concept and allow the viewer the chance to fill in the rest of the image…as in the parent. I’ll bet you a dollar to a doughnut that they will think it’s a really good photo and will even think you’re a creative photographer…besides being relieved from seeing just one more baby photo.
