I am a amateur photograper working on my professional portfolio. I am looking for creative ideas to shoot pics of.. To see some of my work you can check out princess.stangnet.com although at times it seems to have red X's I am working on that though. Anyway, I specialize in black and white children photographs. And I need a variety of different shots, including landscape, portraits and uniqueness. Any ideas??

-Joseph Addison

that is so cool! i love black and white photography.my favorite b&ws are outside when its foggy esp. at the beach.
a neat idea is if you have access to a baby its fun to do pics of them and mirrors.(i have the cutest picture of my baby brother lying on his stomach in front of my mirror dresser smiling)

If it does not necessarily have to be happy, then you could try a child sitting on a plain bed. The child would be clutching and looking longily at a stuffed animal of some sort in his/her arms. Behind the child would be a blank white wall. Maybe you could use some dim lighting.

Ok, I am not normally this disturbed (...ok actually I am), but I am moving out of my apt soon and now I have blank white walls...so it just came to me. yeah thats it..

Water, esp falling water, looks good in b&W. Children playing around a fountain (or sprinkler if that all you have) sounds nice.

These are my kids in their best state

You know me Cody. I didn't have enough free time to be sitting around like that during my childhood. I was too busy picking up buckets of rocks and digging holes. Ahhh memories.... http://discussanything.com/Ubb/smile.gif
