Re: Photographing children
I totally agree with Tom (New England Moments) about having having a stunt double ! For a long time I commandered one of my daughter's dolls, one with real hair and the glass type eyes. I would move the doll around the room to find good lighting and observe how the light looked when I turned it one way or the other. Watch how window light appears as catchlights in the eyes, grab something as simple as a white sheet of paper and hold it up on the shadow side to see how it reflects the light back into the face.
Molly dolly worked really cheap and would sit for hours ! My husband used to tease me that I played with dolls more than our daughter !
Best,
