I have recently been approved to become a member of Banpas.
The Association promotes safe working practices among newborn and baby photographers, and is dedicated to ensuring that baby’s comfort and safety takes priority whilst its members create beautiful images for parents to treasure.
There are guidelines to follow to ensure newborns are safe during photography sessions.
There is concern that some poses ie. froggy pose are being copied by photographers without actually knowing that they are composite images ie. two photographs carefully merged together. This is done so baby can be supported at all times.
Members are encouraged to bring this to the public’s attention.
