Since long ago... it’s be a challenge to take professional portraits of children giving the fact their attention span is typically gone in an instant so getting that winning shot can prove difficult.

There are other pressing issues which most photographers don't even realize too.

These pressing issues include making sure the young child looks as if they are truly a part of the backdrop, making sure the picture holds the viewer's attention and creating a picture that is Not boring.

The problem is, all three of these issues can delay and discourage even the most professional photographer at times, but this article endeavours to see them as problems no more…

Let me explain, when you’re using a photographed background like a specialized printed backdrop, the end result can sometimes end up looking like a complete fake.

Most of the time this isn't the case but sometimes we all experience these little issues that can turn into real headaches.

Here’s the good news…

One of the ways to rectify a fake looking back drop is to use simple props. Now listen up because this is important, instead of using a printed backdrop or muslin, think about using a green screen instead.

By using a simple green screen and combining it with inexpensive chroma key green screen software it's so much easier to perfectly position a digital photograph than trying to get the best angle with the printed cloth you might have now.

Now here’s the thing, throw in a prop or two while the child is in front of the green screen as a prop can add to the illusion and make it look like the child is really there.

Here’s a good example…

For a Christmas photo you might have the child hold a brightly wrapped gift box. If the photo of the child is on the beach, have them wear a swimsuit and throw a towel around them.

What’s the lesson here? The lesson is you should try and add in something that looks very natural to the scene so it appears real. To be sure you fool the eyes of the viewer the prop or props you use must be prepared properly with the digital backgrounds chosen.

One more advantage of including props is that they can help to engage the viewer as apposed to making them disinterested.

Think about this: Of the two following pictures, which one would look more appealing to you? Looking at a picture of a child wearing a suit while standing in front of a background of the Star of David, or would a picture of a three-quarter view of the child wearing his yarmulke and he's lighting a menorah for Hanukkah be more interesting?

Let’s face it, the first picture will give a broad understanding, but the second picture is much more engaging and so much more fun to look at. And here’s the thing, these pictures also help to tell a story.

For instance a baby lying on a blanket is cute, but when you add in a background of a grassy field you have something very unique.

If you were to lay the baby in her mother's arms, using the same Chroma Key Green Screen techniques, you now have a gentle spirit sleeping with Mom rather than a standard picture.

Remember this: To really tell a story and engage the viewer on a more emotional level use props in conjunction with a green screen.

Ok, now listen closely… Are you a chroma key professional, but you notice you’re running out of ideas? The answer may be to become a true master of the green screen photography art!
