Capturing Images of Kids With Special Needs
A few ideas to photograph kids on vacation:
- Avoid forcing or cajoling children into posing by staring at the lens. Grab a candid shot of the child handing a book to a character, or buying a toy he earned as a reward. These memories might be the ones you cherish more than the ability to stand perfectly still.
- Integrate the child’s interests into the images. If your child does martial arts, have them show Mulan their blocks and poses, rather than hug her on cue. If your kid has “too much energy”, grab a shot of them bouncing with Tigger. If your child is too shy to speak to Ariel, consider giving her a gift, like a picture or a pin, and let the princess do the talking. You can use picture symbols, as well. Cast members understand how to facilitate these interactions.
