## Resource

Ian Boddy is a children’s commercial and editorial photographer with extensive experience working across fashion, advertising and editorial projects. His career has been shaped by a clear understanding that photographing children carries a responsibility that goes far beyond getting the shot.     In this episode, Ian reflects on how his approach to working with children has evolved over time and why trust, calm and communication are key to every successful shoot. He talks openly about the importance of creating the right environment on set, respecting a child’s pace, and recognising that young children cannot and should not be treated as small adults.     Ian discusses the role photographers play alongside agencies, parents and production teams, how industry expectations have shifted, and why preparation and experience matter when working in fast-moving commercial settings. He also shares his view on responsible practice behind the camera, balancing client expectations with a child’s wellbeing, and why the experience a child leaves with is just as important as the final image.    www.businessofmodelling.co.uk    www.ianboddy.co.uk    Hosted on Acast.
