Here, he uses 12-foot extension and can trip shutter at any desired time. LEADING specialist in the A field of child. photography, Josef Schneider, urges use of, a practice doll, about the size of a small child to help gain proficiency in the work. After preliminary training in handling and photographing a doll, the student will be better prepared to cope with a live, wriggling child, he says. "Unlike fashion, sports, news or other specialized fields of photography," he told me, "child photography is a field in which subjects are available everywhere at all times.

They're no further than your own house or your neighbor's. It is a field of perpetual demand because parents, publications and advertisers all want good photos of youngsters not once, but again and again as they grow, change and do things. "Successful child portraiture is possible," Schneider emphasized, "if two things are learned. First, good lighting. Secondly, effective methods for managing the child." He hastens to add that this is extreme simplification of the problem.

He suggests beginners start with only one light. By the Shutterbug era, on a tripod, is 12 inches above the child's eye level. This front light setup will give well modeled features. It can also be used as the main light in conjunction with one or two back lights. Here are some of the stunts he suggests: A baby about a year old often thinks it hilarious if a pile of small cardboard boxes on the photographer's head topples over.

Then pile the boxes near him and let him push. them over. When he tires of that game, give him an old magazine and tear out one page. The idea will sink in quickly and will keep him busy tearing out more pages. HE ALSO LIKES noises especially if he makes the noise himself.

Give him a saucepan or kettle and tablespoon and watch him beat the band. To stop the movement of the arm when you want to shoot, suddenly attract the child's attention and be prepared to push the button instantly. "The whole emphasis is on getting the picture right to start with," Schneider pointed out "not on darkroom manipulation in processing afterward. It's as easy to take it right as wrong, then the darkroom end of it which follows becomes strictly mechanical. At home, processing is a matter of time and temOr the films can be perament, turned over to a drug store, and it'll still come out good." LONG BEACH Camera Guild will have a black and white print.
