Babies, baptisms and christening photographers

THE CHALLENGE OF IMPREVISIBILITY by BAPTISM PHOTOGRAPHER

The baby, to be dressed for the christening ceremony, offers the pacifier to the mother, captured by the baptism photographer.

Babies and baptisms. We call the subject every and any point of attention of the photographer that can result in a photo. It can be something at the moment, it can be a theme that the photographer chose for a series of photos, or a day with several themes but connected with some sort of conducting wire.

Usually, babies and baptisms are closely linked. A baptism photographer, when invited to cover one, knows that he will find a baby. And what could be a better subject for a photographer? Because, today, the best way to photograph, an event like that is to tell a story in photos, the christening photographer does not waste any time and points his lens to the main subject of the day, the baby.

I must say that it is, at least, challenging. Everybody loves that naughty look, those little fingers caressing the mother, that shameless laughter to the father and that is possible, I wrote it here before if the photographer knows how to do it in intervals because a baby is completely unpredictable doing his job to prepare and get dressed. I may say that I have been doing well with my technic or, after all, the babies are very benevolent to me, but, I am sure, it works.
