Photographer Couple Carry Their Kids On Their Backs While Capturing Gorgeous Landscapes

Dylan Toh and Marianne Lim are a talented and devoted couple of photographers and parents who know how to manage these two passions at the same time. As these Australia-based parents travel the world to capture the best landscape shots out there, they also bring their two children with them so that they could have an “amazing life experience away from home.”

Hunting for the right landscape shot requires a lot of talent, time, and equipment, which photographers have to drag with them to very remote locations. How can this be done while taking care of your little children and carrying them on your back at the same time? Read Toh and Lim’s answers and tips in their quotes below from their recent interview with 500px.

“If you plan on doing shoots with a child on your back, you absolutely need to find a carrier that is comfortable for both child and parent”

“Get yourself used to Twister game-style gymnastics with a weight on your back—safely, of course”

“Marianne and I are lucky that we both share the same passion for photography”

 “While one of us is shooting, the other is caring for Charlotte”

“It’s important to plan and fit in any photo shoot that coincide with your child at their happiest!.. after a nap and after a good feed”

“With a young child, we have come to accept that we cannot visit as many places as we used to.”

“We’ve accepted that we cannot always be there for the light, and we cannot drop everything at the hint of great shooting conditions”

“We also believe that it is important to bring our baby along on these journeys, rather than leave her at home with relatives”

“Though pure photography is compromised, this way we achieve what is more important to us: giving Charlotte an amazing life experience away from home”
