Photographing Kids: Dwayne Davis

"This is a photo of my son, Hayden, taken with my Canon Digital Rebel and its built-in flash. I am strictly an amateur. As for approach, I use the motor-drive feature with my kids because they tend to pose with unnatural smiles. In this case he was playing with his siblings and hamming it up for the camera when I started shooting, so I kept going until I got a truly genuine smile from him. This photo may not have a lot of technical merit but the subject means a lot to me, and I like the non-standard angle and pose in this case, and there is something about seeing his face mostly from one side that appeals to me."
