A few months ago, Mum showed me some photos that a distant cousin posted of his children on Facebook. They were of the standard posed variety, taken with a strobe or two on a white background, the kids playing with toys, that kind of thing.

I told Mum exactly what I thought, and she asked me what I considered to be good children photography.
I showed her Elena Shumilova's work. Then I showed her Peter Prosophos: Prosophos
She stared in glowing amazement at both their work for several minutes and said, 'oh. I see what you mean'.
