A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hey! I’m photographing my 9 month old cousin and I’d love some tips (alien.top)

Things like focal length (I have a cropped sensor), lighting and general tips you have find useful. I’ve never really done portrait photography before so any help would be appreciated

Soft lighting, and enough of it that you don’t need a flash; babies and little kids sometimes get really upset by flashes. Also, have the parents bring some of their favorite toys they can use as a distraction.
