School photoset. Portrait photography lesson. School photographer, school photographer

Many people remember these words of a popular song from Soviet times. School years are really difficult to forget for any of us, for any person. And school photographs help to preserve this memory very well. They excitedly and reverently resurrect in our hearts the unique atmosphere of our childhood, our youth. Until recently, school photographs were carefully kept in family albums, occasionally shown to children and grandchildren; nowadays they are digitized and shown to friends on social networks... This causes a storm of emotions. In short, the topic of school photographs has always been relevant. It is still relevant today. That’s why we decided to tell you today about how to take a good, high-quality school photograph. Such that you wouldn’t be ashamed to show it to your friends or post it on the Internet.

Let's start by talking about what equipment you will need for this.

Lenses. It’s good to have several lenses for school photography. Why and which ones? Let me explain. The standard lens on your camera usually has a focal length of 18 to 55 millimeters. Sometimes - 18-105 millimeters. But with such a lens you can take the most ordinary, familiar photograph. But in order to “be a little mischievous”, to add a fresh note to the usual, for photographing a school class it is good to use the so-called fish-eye lens, or, as it is also called “fish-eye”. Pictures taken with such a lens have a “barrel effect”, and today’s youth really like this.

Another lens you will need for your work is a portrait lens. A portrait lens is a lens that has a fixed focal length of approximately 100 millimeters. This lens is good for photographing one person, making individual portraits of schoolchildren.

Well, for photographing large groups of people when there is a lack of space in rooms with a small area, you may find it useful wide angle lens with a focal length of approximately 18 to 40 millimeters.

Lighting. More precisely, lighting fixtures. For school photography, we will need at least several flash units. Usually two are enough. Two flashes create soft and even light. This is especially true for individual portraits of children. It’s good if your flashes are additionally equipped with softboxes.

It is very good to use a golden-colored reflector for the described shooting. The shade it creates on the faces of those portrayed turns out to be gentle and warm, and almost everyone usually likes this. If you use a reflector of a different color, the person's skin will look pale and unnatural. This is especially important for portrait photography.

A flash synchronizer is needed to coordinate their work. Simply put, in order for the flashes to fire simultaneously. Today, wired synchronizers are already being abandoned, replacing them with other types of these devices. Who would like a bunch of wires under their feet that can easily trip over them? Especially if there are children around. And your equipment is not cheap.

You will also need several tripods. At least three pieces. Actually for the camera, for the background and for the reflector.

The background in school photography can be used in a variety of colors and textures. Of course, a neutral background is usually the most common. But others can be used as well. For example, blue or gold. With unusual backgrounds, photographs acquire special expressiveness.

Well, now it's time to move on to step by step instructions on setting up light when shooting a school portrait.

Step 1. Arrangement of light sources

As we have already said, we will use two flashes, a reflector and a synchronizer. Light sources relative to the person being portrayed must be installed in such a way that the person is evenly illuminated from all sides.

So let's begin. In front of you is the person you are photographing. That is, your model. You are standing in front of the model. In front of you is a camera on a tripod. Behind the model is a background, also attached to a tripod. To the right of you, the photographer, is a photoflash in a softbox, again mounted on a tripod. On the left is a reflector. Just above the background, also on a tripod, there is another flash unit. Its light should be directed towards the model. The reflector and flash should be placed so that they are mutually directed at each other at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, but their light falls on the model. Thus, we will direct the maximum possible light flux to the face of the portrait subject and the person will be evenly illuminated both from the front and from both sides. And the light source (flash) located above the background will well illuminate the head of the person we are photographing, which will make the portrait even more expressive. This lighting arrangement is considered classic. Standard, so to speak. It is simple and effective. Photos in this lighting usually turn out good.

But this picture shows a slightly different lighting scheme. She is also quite interesting.

Step 2. The influence of angle on changes in light

If, when shooting, you, the photographer, change your location relative to who you are photographing, then you will have to change the direction of the light from the lighting fixtures. If you do not take this point into account in your work, your photo may turn out to be either too dark or overexposed.

Step 3. Group photo

Well, work on individual portraits of students is completed. Let's move on to a photo of the whole class. That is, to put it simply, to collective photography. Note that photographing the entire class is somewhat easier than photographing each child individually. This is where a fisheye lens can come in handy. As we have already said, pictures taken with such a lens turn out to be very unusual and impressive. But at the same time, you will have to think a little more about the subject of such a photo. Walk around the school, examine its premises, classrooms, corridors. Pay attention to the lighting in these rooms.

Well, when actually shooting, don’t forget to choose the right exposure, that is, the combination of shutter speed, aperture and photosensitivity value.

How to photograph schoolchildren?

So, the camera is on a tripod. The background is in the right place. The lighting equipment is set up. Let's start shooting. And filming is working with people. Therefore, filming at school means working with children.

The most important thing you need to do is a separate portrait of each child. We recommend showing the shots taken to the student. If he liked your photos, then the first stage of work can be considered complete. Based on practice, photographing one person usually takes an average of 5-7 minutes, and sometimes a little more. And if there are 25-27 people in the class, then the shooting can easily last two to three hours. This is why we recommend not scheduling more than two classes in one day.

The photographer should help the child choose a pose. The ideal option is for each student to have their own pose in the portrait. It all depends on your experience and your imagination. To begin with, you can ask your child to position himself in front of the camera the way he wants. Take some pictures. Show them to the student. If he doesn’t like the photos, offer your own version of the pose. As a result, you will get what you were looking for and what you were striving for - optimal option a portrait that will suit a boy or a girl.

  1. The model in the frame should feel confident. And to do this, you need to try to convince the student that he looks great. This is especially true when photographing high school girls.
  2. Tell the class teacher or the person who helps you organize filming at school to warn both the children and their parents in advance that photography will be taking place that day. This is especially important when photographing elementary school students. Parents should prepare their child for the photo shoot. What does this preparation involve on their part? Not only in dressing the child beautifully and neatly, sending him to school that day, but also in giving him the necessary advice on how to take pictures, how to behave in front of the camera.
  3. When preparing to photograph children at school, be sure to listen to the opinion of their teacher. They know a lot about their students, their habits and characters. Much more than you, a person is a complete stranger to them. It is even possible that the teacher or class teacher will have some good and unusual ideas. creative ideas for shooting. Don't dismiss these ideas and advice. Think, maybe it’s worth listening to them?
  4. After the photographs are ready, they need to be agreed upon with the customer. In the case of photographing at school, this is mainly or classroom teacher, or any of the active parents. Discuss all the details, down to the smallest detail. The subject of the photo, its size, quality, cost and other details. The customer must know everything. Otherwise, you may have disagreements and even problems later. If photographs must be captioned, double check the name of each child in the photograph. A mistake in this matter can be very unpleasant and usually results in losses for the photographer.

In some cases, you may have to photograph students outdoors, in or around the school yard. Therefore, ask in advance about the weather forecast for the day scheduled for shooting. If weather forecasters promise rain, then street filming will most likely have to be cancelled. Although, by the way, by photographing in the rain you can get enough good results. If there is bright sun outside, then this is also not good. In such conditions, the lighting is usually bright and contrasting. Rough dark shadows, or even just shapeless black spots, appear on faces. It is especially difficult to work in such conditions when photographing groups. That's why the ideal option for photographing classes outside is a cloudy and cloudy day.

Well, that seems to be all we wanted to tell you about today. We hope that if you carefully read this article, the results of shooting at the school will please both you and those you photographed.

No forced grimaces or hackneyed ideas for photographs. By contacting RHINODESIGN, you will receive graduation albums with lively faces and interesting photographs. And leave photographs with people lined up in stupid poses at the behest of the photographer to others. They need it more.

How does the photo shoot work?

We don't dictate terms to you. How the photo shoot will take place is up to you to decide. Do you want it in a photo studio, do you want it inside the walls? educational institution, but you want it in nature, in a park or in another place in Moscow, the Moscow region or St. Petersburg.

We will bring any ideas to life so that in the end your graduation album becomes special. So that after many years you open it and remember all the people who are captured in these photographs. We relived all the pleasant moments from our past.

The photo shoot will take place according to a separate scenario for you. Plus, we take into account the specifics of working with each age. We have in our state professional photographers, specializing in certain types filming:

  • Photo sessions for kindergarten;
  • Photo sessions for 4th grade;
  • Photo sessions for 9th grade;
  • Photo sessions for 11th grade;

How the photo shoot goes

As a rule, photography takes place in two stages:

  • Studio photo shoot;
  • Reportage photo shoot.

In the studio we take group and class photographs. Then, in the place of your choice, we photograph the graduates individually and with their friends, favorite teachers, professors, educators.

How to Prepare for Graduation Photography

The main advice for anyone preparing for graduation photography is to get enough sleep. Fresh faces are half the success. Decide on a place for a photo shoot and think through your image in advance.

Consider whether all participants in the photo shoot will be dressed in the same style, or whether everyone will want to emphasize their individuality. It is also worth considering in advance the decor of the room in which the shooting will take place.

The rest is the work of our photographers. It doesn’t matter whether you are preparing for graduation from kindergarten, school or university. RHINODESIGN specialists have many years of experience in organizing photo sessions and creating chic albums.

How albums are created

You choose the design of your album yourself. We have more than 100 ready-made options to choose from. It is possible to develop a completely unique design for you.

You also choose which photos will be included in your photo album yourself. Thus, each graduate remains completely

For the first time, you were offered to photograph the graduation class for school album or are you just trying to get into school photography? Then this article is for you. In it we will tell you how to organize and quickly photograph portraits of students for school graduation album.

So, the most important photograph for a school photographer is to shoot individual portraits of each graduate. In this case, you do not yet have your own photo studio, and rent does not fit into the budget, so we will proceed from what we have at hand.

1. If the weather permits, we leave the room to get better natural light.

2. If you know that you are too lazy to cut out (isolate) each portrait later, then we are looking for a suitable background. To do this, in turn, you need to consider several things:

2.1. To ensure that the background is as far away from the photographing location as possible, in this way it will be possible to “blur” it as much as possible without opening the aperture to the maximum;

2.2. So that the background has a more or less homogeneous texture without clear horizontal and vertical lines, so that later you don’t have to bother with the alignment of each shot;

2.3. So that the place where the shooting will take place is in the shade. This way you will avoid overexposure and be able to shoot high-quality portraits in full manual mode, which will give you the opportunity to get a finished picture as a result, which will not take a lot of effort and time for correction and processing in the editor. The most you have to do is raise the curve a little to increase contrast and enhance sharpness. That's it, the portrait is ready for the graduation album!

2.4. To give such a portrait a more artistic effect, it is advisable to include a play of light in the composition, but this must be done correctly. The easiest way is to find a place so that the sun illuminates the space between the model and the background - this will give artistic volume to your photograph, and then no one will blame you for not wanting to cut out portraits of graduates and artificially place them on the “beautiful” background.

Where can you find such an ideal place? Yes, all the time. The most accessible one is the school yard: the place where graduates are photographed is in the shadow of the school building, the background is a green fence in the shade of trees, and between them is a sunlit space.

This can be found and organized in most schools. The optimal time is either before 11 a.m., or after 3 p.m. and beyond, depending on the time of year. A city park or alley near the stadium is also a good option for photographing school graduations.

A graduation album is one of those things that will keep the memory of school years. That is why you need not only to choose a photographer, suitable costumes and location, but also to choose good poses for a photo shoot.

Early preparation for a photo shoot

  • Prepare clothes and shoes. Choose a set of clothes that fits well and highlights all your assets. It is not necessary to choose a school uniform or things in a classic style. You can choose an elegant set, but you should focus on the general theme that the photographer will choose. If you find it difficult to choose the right outfit, consult with your loved ones.
  • Prepare your body, hair and face.
  • Get some sleep. In order to look good in photographs, you need to feel cheerful and fresh. In addition, lack of sleep has a bad effect not only on well-being, but also on appearance. And this will nullify all your ideas for photography.
  • Take a cool shower in the morning to energize good mood and vigor.

How to pose correctly for your graduation album


  • There is no need to be afraid of anything, try to relax and unwind as much as possible. Of course, this is not an easy task, but we must strive for it.
  • Before the photo shoot, rehearse several poses and choose the most successful ones. Try to remember the facial expression. You can even make small sketches for yourself. A great option is to print out the photos you like from the Internet and try to reproduce them at the photo shoot.

How to behave during an individual photo shoot


A sincere smile is the key to successful photographs
  • Chat with the photographer. To obtain beautiful pictures, the photographer and the model must find a common language. If a photographer asks you something, try to give as complete an answer as possible. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them. Perhaps the poses that you have been practicing at home for so long do not look very good from the outside. Or maybe you can offer ideas and poses that the photographer will find very interesting.
  • Smile. A sincere smile suits anyone, so smile as often as possible during the photo shoot. The main thing is not to do it forcefully, so that the smile does not turn into an ugly grimace.
  • Don't be afraid to fantasize. When choosing a good photo pose, think about what things you can take with you to do beautiful photo. Perhaps you are interested in playing the guitar or boxing. It makes sense to take them with you so that the photos turn out interesting and original. The photographer will be delighted with this idea.

How to behave during a group photo shoot


  • Don't make faces. Young people love to stand out from the crowd. You shouldn’t make a face during a photo shoot for this reason. Such a photograph will not be included in the graduation album anyway, so you will only waste the photographer’s time.
  • Give me ideas for photos. Group photography for the graduation album can be done in the classroom, dining room, assembly hall and sports hall. Perhaps your class has some ideas and special places where you liked to spend your free time. Be sure to take a photo in front of them so that the memory remains.

Choosing ideas and interesting poses for photography is not an easy task, but you need to approach it with all responsibility. And this needs to be done the night before, and not during the photo shoot.

How should you photograph children? This question is asked by many parents, which is why we dedicate this lesson in which we will help you with the choice of equipment and shooting parameters, give advice on layout and working with light, and also reveal the basics of communication with children necessary for their photography.

Traditionally for our photography school, all tips are divided into 2 parts - camera settings and actual shooting practice. And don’t let the lesson number confuse you - you will succeed! :)

Let's start with some tips for setting up your camera for photographing children.

Aperture priority mode. Shooting in this mode and fast optics will allow you to control the depth of field (DOF), which is important for portrait photography, so that the background in the photos is blurred, focusing attention on the subject. The optimal value will be f/2.2-2.8 (according to shooting conditions) for a close-up portrait, and f/2.8-4 for shooting a full-length portrait. These values ​​are conditional, used personally by the author of the lesson, and you can practically determine the settings of your camera that you consider more correct.

If your camera doesn't have aperture priority mode (i.e. your camera doesn't have manual settings), you can use portrait mode. When using this mode, the camera's automation will open the maximum aperture for the focal length you choose, reducing the depth of field.


ISO- Depending on where the photo is being taken (indoors or outdoors) and the light, set the ISO value to the lowest possible value to prevent noise. ISO at 100-200 - if the lighting is good enough. If the lighting is insufficient and the shutter speed at low ISO is long, you can compensate for this by increasing the photosensitivity, but I recommend no more than 800.

Excerpt- try to use 1/200 for static prophecy when your child is posing, and if children are not sitting still, go up to 1/500 or higher. As mentioned above, if there is not enough light and the shutter speed in aperture priority mode is set longer than 1/125, increase the ISO or open the aperture slightly. If your camera does not have manual settings, use the sports settings mode.


Focus mode- set the focus mode to one point - with children who are constantly moving, this will be the optimal mode. In simple point-and-shoot cameras, unfortunately, you cannot select the camera focus mode (maybe you should think about changing the camera?).

Image format when shooting- if you have the time and skills to process photos, then try to take pictures in RAW format. This will give you more options for post-processing. And again, I note that digital compacts do not allow you to choose the format for saving images.


Flash/Lighting- if there is a hot shoe connector in the camera, it is better to immediately refuse to use the built-in flash. If the photo is taken indoors, use an external flash to bounce the light pulse off the wall or ceiling (if they are white) or use a diffuser to get indirect light. If you don't have an external flash or the camera doesn't allow you to install one, try to take photos in natural light and don't worry about the flash (except for moments when you're shooting into the sun and you'll need flash fill light).

Lenses. If your camera has interchangeable lenses, then the choice is determined by the condition described at the beginning of the lesson - large aperture. When photographing children dynamically, it is necessary to use a zoom lens; when photographing statically - the best option There will, of course, be a lens with a fixed focal length. A TV zoom lens allows you to capture casual scenes from a distance, while a wide-angle lens allows you to take panoramic shots.

Now that the settings are complete, it’s time to move on directly to shooting practice.

Practice photographing children

Before giving specific advice on photographing children, it should be mentioned that the child should feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during the photographing process. You can show your child the photographs you took, let your child look at the camera, or let him take a few pictures himself.

The place where you will take photos, if it is situational, but try to think through 2-3 scenes in advance that you would like to capture. Shoot outdoors (for example, in a park or forest), and indoors (for example, a bedroom or a room where a child plays). Find a place with a simple, low-key backdrop for posing (and make sure there's no carpet behind you!). Choose places where children will find it fun and interesting, then you can photograph them in a relaxed atmosphere while playing.

Hidden photography- try to photograph children as secretly as possible. They can do their favorite things during this time. Use a TV lens.

Avoid staged shooting where a child, for example, sits among toys with a sour face and looks at them indifferently. The picture is called “Happy Birthday,” but another name suits it best: “This photographer got all your gifts.” Unfortunately, social media they are simply teeming with just such photographs.

Posing- older children love to pose, but small children are not very attentive to this and photographs in which they pose may look a little unnatural and forced.

The best period for photographing babies is from 6 to 9 months. Then we have the most angelic faces, wide-open eyes and the most controlled mood. During this period, babies look at what is shown to them, lie where they are placed, and touch what is given. In general, ideal models. In a year or two, character begins to emerge. It depends on your luck. Maybe all the games that you have prepared for him will be completely uninteresting to him. At three or four, it is difficult to get children to stand in one place. Don’t even hope that you will put a small child in front of the lens, and he will smile radiantly at you, turn around different sides and respond to everything you say. Will not be. 100%. The film set turns into a playground for active games, and you always want to play in places other than where they are taking pictures. But closer to 5 years, a child can already pose well.

Take photos at the level of the child's face- an ordinary small child is no taller than half your height, and if you photograph him from your height, the pictures will turn out ordinary and inexpressive, and the proportions of the child’s body will be disturbed. Therefore, sit down at the child’s eye level.

Using the zoom. You can increase the focal length by zooming, but do not forget that in this case lenses with variable aperture values ​​reduce the aperture, and, accordingly, the shutter speed increases and the depth of field increases. It is better not to use the zoom, leaving the lens in a wide-angle position and taking pictures in the surrounding context, not forgetting that the children’s faces should also dominate the pictures, and not just the surroundings.

Focus on the eyes. Pay maximum attention to the child's eyes. Clear eyes in a photo will always draw the viewer's attention to it.

Background. Pay attention to the background of your photos. The background gives context to photos, but it can also distract attention from the main subject. Before shooting, remove all unnecessary objects from the frame. Experiment with backgrounds of different colors and textures, or, on the contrary, take a photo so that the background is not visible at all.

Cloth- choose clothes that the child will feel comfortable in and that will reflect his personality. It's also good to have several different costumes if the shoot will take place in different locations. Avoid bright, flashy colors and accessories in the frame - they distract attention from the child’s eyes and create a certain spot of color - the visual center of the photo.

To obtain original photos use continuous shooting mode.

Include other people in the frame as another way to help your child relax - add parents, brothers, sisters, friends, etc. This will add a sense of relationship to the frame and will distract the child from the photographer. Filming two children is more interesting than one, but also more difficult. Here the emotions of one child must coincide with the emotions of another, otherwise there will be complete confusion. Here, too, it’s easier to give them some kind of task and film what they do. Only then will the photograph not look artificial.

Make the photo shoot as fun as possible. Try to make your child happy by asking him to do some fun things, this will make the pictures more energetic and help the child relax. The more fun the child is, the more sincere and original his photographs will be.

Light scheme, which you will use indoors, should not be complex and difficult to customize. You tell the children to stand here, and they move half a meter to the side. And it is on the sidelines that the most good shots. If your light is set to a specific point and a specific angle, you won't achieve much. It is easy to photograph children against a white background, where a step to the right or a step to the left does not play a big role, although, of course, you still need to monitor the light and, if possible, adjust it.

We will highlight photography in kindergartens and schools separately.

The production process of school photography requires careful organization. The fact is that photographing one class can usually take time comparable to one lesson. There are from twenty-five to forty-five students in a class. The lesson lasts forty-five minutes. Therefore, the photographer has only one minute for each portrait.

A portable studio in a miniature version consists of a studio flash with a power of 150 J (at a distance of 130 cm from the umbrella to the child’s eyes, it gives an aperture of 8), an umbrella with a diameter of 100 cm (moving the umbrella more than thirty meters from the eyes is bad. At the same time, it ceases to produce a soft cut-off pattern, but large-diameter umbrellas cannot be used: they take up too much space), a reflector to the right of the photographer (about twenty cm from the child’s shoulder) and a source of drawing light (ideally it should be positioned so that during the shooting process it is not needed too much) move frequently, approximately 20 cm above the child’s head, at an angle of 45 degrees to the lens axis).

Opening a hole even larger than 8 is bad, because there is no reserve of depth of field, and in case of the slightest mistake you can get a defect. Considering the pace of filming, it's best not to take risks.

During recess, children run wild and run around like meteors, constantly knocking over the fence of chairs built around the studio. It costs them nothing to knock any of the flashes onto the floor. Therefore, during breaks, filming stops, the photographer retrains as a security guard.

The lens should allow you to shoot a half-length portrait from an arm's length distance. This is important because every now and then children have to straighten their shirt collars, ties, and bangs. Portraits are characterized by a soft pattern, shallow depth of field and usually large aperture ratio.

When photographing a class, turn off autofocus and frame the frame so that the subject's head occupies three-quarters of the frame, there is not too much of the body, and there is a small space of blurred background above the head. Now focus on the child's eyes and seal the focusing ring with tape. The main thing is that the image scale of the heads does not change during the work. When they all come together in one cool vignette, the different-sized heads will look ugly. You will have to focus by changing the position of your own head: either approaching the client’s eyes, or moving away from them. Not very convenient, but the output standard of the product is guaranteed. One more important detail. At the moment of shooting, the camera mirror rises, and for a short moment you lose sight of the person. And at this very moment he strives to blink. There is only one way to avoid this during the shooting process: you need to look at the lens with one eye and directly at the child with the other and, if necessary, take a double. Avoiding mistakes by looking at the camera display every now and then is not an option - the pace of work will be disrupted.

On the eve of the shoot, children usually receive a lot of “useful” advice from their parents. A trained child, sitting on a chair in front of the photographer, inflates like a bubble, begins to straighten his hair, his collar, chew his own lips, or gives such a crooked smile that he is just about ready to burst out laughing. A lot in this case depends on the behavior of the photographer. You can’t let the child come to his senses. As soon as you sit him down and straighten his hair and clothes, immediately ask him some stupid question that has nothing to do with the shooting, but requires a switch of attention. For example: “How many kwa will there be every time?”, “What is the name of your cat?”, “Turn your nose a little to the left,” etc. You should have quite a lot of such blanks in stock so that the question is unexpected for each subsequent child.

Children usually stand in line outside the studio and watch everything that happens like a small performance in which the photographer is both a director and an actor at the same time. And whether children are interested in the performance depends on their behavior during filming. The moment a child hears a question, he willy-nilly switches his attention from the desire to be beautiful and control his facial muscles to thinking about an unexpected question. At this time his face takes on a natural expression. This is the moment of truth, catch it, pull the trigger. After a moment, the child will think about the question and respond: he will begin to talk, smile and again begin to play “handsome”.

You shouldn’t film children talking or squeeze smiles out of them if they themselves don’t smile at you with a full measure of trust. Uneven teeth or any glands in the mouth are very unsightly. It’s better for these guys not to open their mouths at all.

Children should not be allowed to stand directly behind you. They begin to make faces, show their horns, in a word, entertain the one who is already filming. This disrupts the rhythm of filming and prevents the creation of an optimal mood for the entire class. Confidence, goodwill, calmness, gentle tolerance for children's pranks and at the same time firmness in organizational requirements are absolutely necessary. If you can persuade the teacher to tidy up your tomboys, and you don’t waste time combing unruly tufts and putting collars and ties in order, you’ll be able to take down the whole class in forty-five minutes and still not create a marriage.

Higher grades are more difficult to film. The girls are all fashion models. They may sit on a chair with their back to the light because that side of their face seems better to them. Persuading someone to change seats is useless. It is necessary to prepare in advance for rearranging the light and mark on the floor where the umbrella stand will be installed. Large guys will have to be filmed while standing. Conversations with them and distractions should be more sophisticated and humorous. Commands in an orderly tone do not work. In a confrontational environment, filming goes poorly. Many guys have teenage acne. Therefore, stock up on good covering powder and concealer pencils. Accompanied by friendly laughter, the children will have to quickly paint their cheeks and foreheads, without listening to objections. The result is quite decent portraits without pimples and freckles. An alternative is computer retouching.

That's all for today. I hope the materials in this lesson were interesting and useful for you. Good luck and all your photography!
