6 Pro Tips for Getting Kids to Pose for Back-to-School Pictures
With all those adorable back-to-school pictures showing up on your Instagram feed in August and September, it's easy to think that everyone but you has kids who will pose for photos. The truth is, a lot of parents struggle to get their kids to smile for the camera as the new school year gets underway. As a photographer, I've worked with a lot of kids over the years and developed a few tricks for getting them to cooperate when that's not really on their agenda at the moment. You can totally use these to get the first-day-of-school pictures of your dreams. Most kids like to have a little advance warning (or in the case of my son on the autism spectrum, a lot of advance warning) before something happens, especially if it's something that requires them to act a certain way. In the week before the first day of school, talk about how you'll be taking photos. No matter how old your kids are, they'll appreciate the head's up. Quick Tip Talking about the back-to-school pictures ahead of time gives you a chance to explain your expectations too. Let them know what kind of pictures you want to get and how long you expect the photos to take. Traditionally, school pictures happen on the morning of school starting, but this isn't always the best time for kids. There's a lot that changes when school starts, and this can be a stressful time of transition for kids. Imagine having someone take pictures of you on the morning you were about to start a new job. But the morning school starts isn't the only option for taking first day of school pictures. Give them a couple of options for when you could take the pictures. You could do it any time in the days leading up to school starting, and this could be a way more relaxing experience for all of you. Also, kids like having choices and the power to say what they want. As someone who has photographed her kids nearly every day for almost a decade, I can tell you from experience that you'll get better photos if you pay your models. Talk to kids about what they might want and then make a deal. This isn't the best strategy for babies and toddlers who haven't yet learned to delay gratification, but it's an instant win with school-aged kids. What works for my kids might not work for your kids, but as their parent, you probably know what will. You can always ask the kids too. Here are a few ideas for incentives that tend to work well: Fancy school supplies A new school outfit or accessory A special first-day-of-school lunch treat Candy (probably better after school) Screen time An after-school outing to a favorite arcade or park The chance to skip a chore You know how you can get people to agree to something if they have some creative buy-in? That's true of kids and photos too. Sure, they might suggest the standard goofy-face picture or something super strange involving stuffed animals or even real animals, but chances are, you're shooting these with your phone or a digital camera. You can take a lot. Take some with their ideas and some with yours. You'll get some weird ones, sure — but you'll also get some great ones. Quick Tip You might find you actually love the weird kid-idea photos just as much as the ones you planned to take. I love doing side-by-side comparisons with a goofy face picture and a regular smiling one. As kids get older, their time matters more to them. It makes sense; they have more demands on them. They may not want to sign up for taking back-to-school photos if they think it's going to be too time-consuming. Agree on a time limit (try to negotiate for at least five minutes per kid, but take what you can get). Let kids set a timer or watch the clock. If you have older kids, they might be hesitant to do school pictures because they don't want you to post them online. Talk about this ahead of time to see if they'd like to have some say in what you do with the photos. Worst case, you won't get to show off the pictures online, but you'll still have them for yourself. Quick Tip Have one kid that just refuses to be in your back-to-school pictures, no matter what you do? Take a picture of their backpack or lunch box as a stand in. It's not what you want, but it's guaranteed to be funny when you look back on it in years to come. Going back to school is kind of a big deal — both for kids and for parents. This is a milestone that matters, and back-to-school pictures can help you capture it. If you can get the kids on board, you'll end up with some great shots you can share with friends and family.

This TikToker is going viral for calling out the ‘bad walkers' of NYC
If you've ever experienced incommensurate rage from slow or oblivious walkers, this TikTok series is for you. Matt Bass has always been a walker, often logging 10 miles per day on weekends. Recently, he's taken to the streets of New York City, phone in hand, documenting what he calls 'bad walkers.' 'I decided to start a TikTok to capture some of the moments you have to see to believe,' Bass tells Fast Company over email. Armed with just an iPhone and a pair of Apple wired earbuds as a makeshift mic, he films incognito behind sunglasses, rating aloud the walking etiquette of those who cross his path. Bass briefly experimented with Ray-Ban Meta glasses for hands-free, clandestine filming, but he found the audio quality lacking and returned to his tried-and-true setup. So, what actually constitutes a 'bad walker' in Bass's book? 'Typically, a formation that is 4 wide, all side by side, will be deemed bad walking etiquette,' he says. 'I think anyone swinging umbrellas or shopping bags is also an example of a bad walker.' He adds: 'The worst walkers are typically taking up the full width of the sidewalk, buried in their phones, not paying attention.' Other documented offenses include what he terms ' drifters '—pedestrians who unconsciously veer across the path, blocking the entire width. Then there's the ' chain link fence ' violation—people who link arms or hold hands three or more across, obstructing both incoming and outgoing foot traffic. He's also identified seasonal offenders, like ' shadow clingers '—those who cling to the shade of a building, ignoring standard sidewalk etiquette of staying on the right side in favor of avoiding the sun. There's even an edition devoted to umbrella etiquette. It's a grievance many can relate to. 'I've found my people. I hate hate hate bad walkers,' one commenter posted. Another wrote: 'The amount of unholy rage that I feel being stuck behind people with no self-awareness is unhealthy!' (Bass responded to that latter commenter: 'Don't worry. We're solving this global crisis, one video at a time.') While Bass takes care not to expose identities or engage confrontationally, some viewers have criticized his approach. 'They can go at their own pace. They aren't on your time. Go around,' one commenter argued. To which Bass replied: 'People who say 'just go around' definitely haven't walked the streets of New York themselves. Easier said than done in most cases.' Bass is clear that good walking etiquette isn't about speed. 'Not everyone has to be fast,' he says. 'But everyone should be aware of their surroundings and considerate of others.' He's also spotlighted examples of stellar walkers, just so people know what to strive for.
