During the period of technological progress and the development of scientific thought, people still believe in various superstitions. The existence of a large number of psychics, mediums and clairvoyants, so often flickering on TV, only further fuel interest in everything unusual and unsolved. Therefore, people are also afraid of bad omens, they are wary of black cats and a bad eye. One of these superstitions is that you cannot photograph a sleeping person.
Is it worth taking pictures of the sleeping
There is a theory that a photograph of a person has certain information that can be read by people endowed with psychic abilities. In addition to the fact that they are able to find out all the details of life from a photographic image, they can carry out various magical actions that can cause great harm to a person. For this, people with unusual abilities need even a photo in electronic form, and the popularity of social networks only makes this task easier.
Another reason not to photograph a sleeping person is based on the theory that the soul leaves the body during sleep. It is at this moment that a person becomes defenseless in the face of otherworldly forces. For the same reason, you cannot unexpectedly wake him up, then there is a possibility that the soul will not have time to return back. A sharp click of the lens or the noise of the photographing person can simply frighten a sleeping person, which can also cause a lot of unpleasant consequences.
Another reason, unrelated to some otherworldly forces, is the aesthetic side of this issue. Sleep is a period during which a person ceases to control himself as much as possible. At this moment, the sleeping person may have some funny grimace, disheveled hairstyle, etc. Such a photo can cause not the most pleasant impressions not only for the person depicted on it, but also for those who will contemplate it. The worst part, however, is that the sleeping person in the photo may appear dead. This is hardly able to please anyone.
On the other hand, if you don't believe in omens and superstitions, there is nothing wrong with allowing yourself to be photographed while you sleep. It is possible that you will get the picture just great. However, it's up to you, of course, to decide this.
You can or can not take pictures of sleeping children
For the same reasons, many adults are afraid to photograph their sleeping babies. Also, the sound of the shutter of photos can scare a baby, and even more than an adult, since the psyche of children is even more sensitive.
If such a photo session is carried out by a guest photographer, the child, suddenly seeing a stranger with a lens aimed at him, can be very frightened. However, there are some advantages to photographing sleeping children. The result is cute and adorable pictures where babies look like innocent and careless angels. This photo allows you to capture the most tender age of the child.
