Fashion company Balenciaga came under fire recently after publishing a campaign featuring children and BDSM props. After threatening legal action against creatives behind the photos, including photographer Gabriele Galimberti, the company has decided to let them off the hook after all.

However, some images included papers showing Supreme Court’s decision regarding child pornography. Another photographer reportedly took them, and Balenciaga decided to sue the creatives behind this set.

In 2020, actress and singer Hilary Duff publicly called out a photographer who was taking photos at her kid’s soccer game. She filmed him with his phone, posted the video on her Instagram, and publicly called him “a creep.” She later discussed the incident on a talk show, and the photographer decided to sue her and the show host for defamation.

However, it appears that being publicly called out isn’t enough to win a slander lawsuit. On Monday, a judge dismissed both lawsuits that the photographer had filed.

These photos were taken by two little girls in 1917, and they are gorgeous

I recently watched a movie with my kids about the Cottingley Fairies.  The film was a bit of a snoozer but it was my introduction to the true story of two little girls who, between 1917 and 1920 took beautiful b&w glass plate photographs of one another interacting with fairies in the forest behind their home in Cottingley, England.

A century later, we don’t give a second thought to any notion that what these children photographed were real elfin creatures.  Yet in the early 20th century, with photography and scientific culture in its infancy, the five photographs that the young girls took were under serious investigation by the entire world.  The case would become a fulcrum on which questions of science and faith were levered.

A few days ago I submitted a photo to the new DIYPhotography facebook group, it was picked to be featured on DIYP. I am excited!

Do you remember the things you used to fantasize about when you were a child? Those fun conversations you used to have with your friends or sibling about the adventures you would want to have? I remember clearly mine, and to be honest, I had a great childhood filled with adventures and fun.

I grew up in a big family, and my cousins and I were always playing outdoors and having way too much fun. We had a big house on a tree, we jumped down roofs with umbrellas pretending we were Mary Poppins, we used to spend lots of time on a creek throwing rocks, our family had a big construction company and my cousins, and I used to go around driving bulldozers, we had so much freedom! There’s even a story about “some kids” spraying bug repellent in their mouth because somehow they believed that that way, they would become superheroes. That story ended up with those kids in the hospital, and no, they didn’t become superheroes, but thankfully, everybody was fine after a couple of days…

Everyone has been taught from birth how to get a kid to smile.  You just tell them to say “cheese” and they respond with a nice big natural smile, right?  Well, anyone that’s actually tried this can testify to how well it works (if you didn’t catch my sarcasm… it doesn’t).  You end up with a photo of a kid with clenched teeth, a scrunched nose, and raised eyebrows. In this article, I’m going to give away all of my secrets that I’ve picked up as a professional children’s photographer for getting nice, natural smiles out of children.
