When it comes to capturing a theme of innocence in photography, showcasing children and their utterly unique perspectives is one of the most widely used methods, and these striking child portraits showcases the powerful types of imagery that children can portray.
Using children for advertisements and PSAs is a technique that marketers are using to emotionally target consumers and audiences. Children, especially at a young age, are highly impressionable and unaffected by the harsh influences of adult life. These wonderfully captivating child portraits showcases up-close shots of children caught in all sorts of eye-catching situations. From screaming toddlers to those who look completely unamused, these eye-catching portraits offers audiences an in-depth look into what it means to be a kid again.
