KIDS PHOTOGRAPHY Jul 2021

When working with junior subjects, Adrien skilfully captures the essence of youthful exuberance while readily embracing children's natural tendency not to take themselves too seriously on the shoot. This spontaneity leads to striking results that expertly capture the joyful moments and effervescent freedom of expression that encapsulate the essence of youth.

A proud father himself, he is supremely adept at helping younger subjects feel relaxed, happy, and safe throughout the shoot, and is always patient, calm, and eminently professional – whether working with children or adults.

Adrien believes that each of his subjects has a unique story to tell, and feels that the key to capturing his subject's true nature on film is to allow them a friendly and comfortable space in which to exude their true essence.

Julia has been shooting kids, fashion and portraits for many brands and leading independent magazines in the UK and abroad for a number of years.

Constantly inspired by what she sees around her, she is always thinking of stories to capture.  Referencing painting and sometimes vintage photography, she is eager to convey the emotions and moods of subjects and situations through her imagery. Through her lens she pulls something unique out of the scene, using composition and light, capturing a moment.

Alongside her commercial work, she is always documenting real life. The pandemic has helped her to slow down and notice the things around her close to home, and as a result she has touched on many delicate issues and noticed the small details. She has an empathy with people which allows her subjects to feel comfortable and at ease.

''Never work with children or animals'' is what you always hear getting in to photography.

But Amsterdam-based photographer Natasja Noordervliet gets inspired by both subjects and shoots them preferably together. The task to tell a story about these unruled subjects is the challenge she loves to take every time.

She works for brands such as Claesens and Frankie, Liberty and for kids magazines Kek Mama Magazine and Viva Mama.

She would love to work for some international brands and or magazines.
