When photographing babies without diapers, one must be on constant guard. I learned early on to tune in to the baby.
Fashions come and go for good reasons.
Thankfully, these are gone. When photographing a swimwear fashion spread, the art director asked us to put oil on the baby so it looked like suntan lotion. Some clients want the babies to bend over backwards, and leave it to us to execute. Needless to say, a large casting was necessary to search out the needed talent. Thankfully, there were a few gifted babies.
