Saw a thread yesterday of a lovely young man--with autism... I have a son who is also autistic, and was planning to shoot all my kids. Difficult to get him motionless, but I tried. Here is one of him and another of him with his older sister. Was playing with some new equipment and the lighting didn't work quite as I hoped, but "c'est la vie!"

I think both shots are good. The one of both children may be slightly hot, but the one of him is well done. Handsome young man.

Thank you both. The second is a little hot... A problem I had with these new lights. The Canon doesn't recognise they exist--makes for some surprises. Thanks again

Really like his expressions, both shots show off his personality!

I have a 4 year old autistic daughter, and sitting still is never an option. Lots of candids and many peaceful sleep poses.

Have fun with your new equipment!

Hi Michael,

Sometimes the subjects expression says tons more than any possible photographic shortcomings. i think you have done well here.

BTW when I shot portraits for a living we used a squeeky toy or fav noise maker to get the childs attention, but the real key here is to use a remote cord (wireless if you can) to allow you get out from behind the camera during exposure. This way you can coach the subject better.
