Test shoot comments

I am already aware of the problems with shooting young children from my last project - they constantly move, don't want to stand still (and why would they want to?), making it tricky to get a decent photograph of them.

I tried the technique of getting my nephew to stand by a wall and count to twenty, attempting to turn me taking photos of him into a 'game', but apparently it wasn't very interesting as he moved away instantly. Therefore, much like my last project, my images will be ad-hoc in the sense that I will simply have to keep trying to take photos until I get the ones I want/like. You can't ask young children to sit on a chair and smile, or simply keep still, like an adult could. Ironically, the topic of my project disables me from capturing the images I want easily.
