Children's photography is quite a beneficial business model. From the instant the kid is born until they are young adults the family frequently wants pictures of their child growing up. In most cases parents bring in children mostly for special occasions and other reasons to celebrate. Normally they have photos taken pretty often when they are toddlers and every year or two after that. For some this pattern extends to 18 and sometimes even 21. Don't disregard the holidays such as Christmas or Easter. All these portrait opportunities can add up to a nice residual income, especially if a photographer gets a lot of patrons. Using a green screen can help you attain those clients.
But wouldn't it be pleasant if there was a approach to boost the amount of sales, particularly during the initial infancy years where the child's moms and dads may not usually bring them in for their portraits? This piece will show not one or two, but three ways you can increase your income by using a green screen with those same customers-and it will not cost you an arm or a leg to get this going.
Try using the age old question all children hear all the time: "What would you like to be when you grow up"? This will typically lead to answers like I want to be a firefighter or an astronaut.
Here's a quick explanation on how to do this: First, to make sure you don't have to create elaborate sets or print up some location backdrops, set up a green screen that you will take the child's picture in front of. Next, have the child dress up like their dream job would have them look - if possible, help the parents by having economical props like a fireman's helmet, a cowboy hat, and a doctors mask with plastic stethoscope. Take the picture then use simple chroma key software to locate them in the suitable background.
Another way to make the most of a green screen and offer an additional unique portrait opportunity is what I like to call the "show off" tactic. You need to get the parents to bring in something the children have accomplished that is something to be proud of. For instance, if they have drawn or painted something they should be proud off, create a digital background where it looks like it is on exhibit in an art gallery. Then take the picture as if the child is standing next to the exhibit. For sports superstars, take a picture of the child from the side with them leaning on a wall that is covered with green screen.
In conclusion, don't forget about using themes to your advantage. You can find out what the name of a book that they really like. Do some exploration and figure out a way to position them inside the books settings. If the book is something like one of the action books try placing them in the tropical rain forest or in the middle of a cattle farm. For something like the Harry Potter books try putting them in front of an old English cottage. If you are willing to use your imagination, you will discover the sky is the limit when it comes to distinctive children portraiture - especially when using a green screen.
