A 3 month old baby was left permanently blind as a family tried to take a headshot of the newborn.
In the modeling and filmmaking industry the headshot is one of the most important things for any model or actor.
Many parents are confident that their newborns and toddlers are the next A-list star but, unknown to them they could be putting their child at risk.
A three-month-old baby left blind in one eye after family friend forgot to turn off the camera flash while taking a photo close up.
The camera on a mobile phone was held about 10 inches away from the baby. Doctors in China say he has suffered irreparable damage to his eyes.
