How to take a good photo of family life?

Family life is rich and colorful. Taking good photos of family life can bring fun to your family, and the accumulated photo album is also a meaningful souvenir.

First, the content of shooting

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the main contents of family life. Reflecting the well-fed family life is the easiest subject for us to absorb. The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation does not mean such a running account as getting up in the morning, getting dressed, going to school or going to work by bike, eating at noon and sleeping at night. But through careful observation, shooting typical plots and moments. For example: clothes, you can buy new clothes, knit sweaters, make new clothes or try on new clothes in front of the wardrobe mirror; Food, you can shoot kitchen cooking, family dinner and other content in the festival; Live, you can shoot the spacious and bright rooms, the exquisite furnishings, and you can also shoot activities such as cleaning and painting walls. If you have the joy of moving, it is a good theme; Ok, you can take pictures of all kinds of interesting postures while practicing the car, and you can also take pictures of all kinds of shots on the way to travel. It would be very interesting if you put your own food, clothing, housing and transportation in a group.

Cultural study and entertainment are also important contents in family life. Photography can reflect a variety of family cultural and recreational activities. For example: doing homework under the lamp, reading newspapers, playing chess, playing cards, playing ball games, watching TV, etc., and children are eager to practice writing at their desks, appreciate and organize stamp albums and photo albums, and practice playing violin or piano. There are many families who like to raise flowers, birds and fish. Raising flowers, you can take pictures of tasks such as watering flowers or enjoying flowers and taking close-ups of flowers; Raising birds, you can take pictures of teasing birds to peck; Fish farming, you can take pictures of goldfish leisurely streams and fish competing for food.

Festivals can also provide rich content for family life photography. For example: setting off firecrackers and fireworks, enjoying lanterns on the Lantern Festival, greeting each other in the New Year, enjoying the moon with camellia, and making dumplings and jiaozi. Birthday is a very meaningful shooting subject, which can shoot close-ups of people in front of birthday cakes and congratulations at birthday family dinners.

family life photography can also take photos of respecting elders, unity and friendship, paying attention to hygiene and loving labor. For example, helping the elderly, talking and chatting, and children doing housework.

Second, the shooting method

Light processing

Most photos of family life are taken indoors. During the day, you can use natural light and flash to shoot, and you can use flash to shoot at night. When shooting flash, it is better to indirectly reflect the flash with white wall, white roof or reflector and reflective umbrella. If the indoor light is too dim and the characters are moving, you can also use the flash directly, but gauze should be added in front of the light to soften the light. When taking color photos, sunlight and lights (except flash) should not be mixed, otherwise the color temperature will be unbalanced, which will affect the color effect. Shooting outdoor activities, such as watering flowers, doing exercises, games, etc., using oblique light to take pictures, can get better results.

picture processing

the picture should be concise, not messy, and attention should be paid to the reasonable selection of background. For example, the bookshelf can be used as the background to take pictures of reading books, and mom can knit sweaters reliably on the bedside or sofa.

the plot of the picture should be lively and interesting. For example, grandpa and grandson can be photographed playing chess, and mother and children can set up blocks and practice gymnastics. Pay attention to the directionality of the picture when shooting.

Exposure should be sufficient

The light in the home is generally dim, so attention should be paid to prevent underexposure, and it is better to have more than less exposure when estimating exposure. If you are taking free photos of indoor activities, you must use a flash when the light is too dim.

note that

family life photos generally need to be kept for a long time, so after the photos are developed, the time and place of shooting should be recorded in the photo background immediately, and then stored in the photo album.
