A method for the challenging problem of eliciting the attention of dynamic subjects such as small children for the purposes of photography is disclosed herein. Specifically, we disclose an inexpensive, quickly deployable, and flexible device that can be used with a wide variety of recording devices available on the market. One embodiment of the invention discloses an attachment that can engage with the threaded tripod mount hole that is found as a feature on most current modern cameras, allowing an attention-attracting object, such as a child's toy, to be suspended from a camera, thereby allowing the photographer to elicit the gaze and attention of the subject and operate the camera with both hands, which provides considerable stability. Another embodiment of the invention discloses a re-attachment means for the attention-eliciting device, allowing the photographer to quickly swap the attention-attracting object and customize it to the situation and subject.
