Look Away From The Camera

Something about the look of an old, faded polaroid that is just so cool. 

This picture reminded me of another method I sometimes use to get good pics of kids who don't want to be cooperative. Tell them not to look at you. Where is it written that a portrait MUST be of someones face?  

To get that retro, faded look, I use a Photoshop action I downloaded from somewhere. There are literally tons of Photoshop actions out there you can download for free. Here is one good source.

The Polaroid frame came from PhotoFrame.
