How to take a family photo

It is appropriate for the family to get together and take a family photo during the Spring Festival. So how to take a family photo during the Spring Festival? Let me introduce it to you.

1, manual white balance is used in special occasions.

When taking a family photo indoors, we must pay special attention to whether the color of light will affect the white balance of the photo. It is suggested to use the manual white balance setting in the camera when some lights are obviously yellow. At this time, the automatic white balance can no longer be relied on.

2. Use different measurement modes.

Use spot metering to ensure accurate exposure of people. When the background light is darker than the person's position, if you use the camera's global metering mode, your face will lose some details because it is too bright. At this time, it is necessary to use the spot metering mode, and put the metering point on the person's face to ensure the accurate exposure of the subject.

3. Shoot with caution and avoid light.

Turning on the flash is prone to red eye phenomenon, and it will make the room that is not bright appear darker. The correct way is to turn off the flash, change to a brighter place, improve the ISO sensitivity of the camera, or use a larger aperture and a slower shutter speed to shoot.

4. Pay attention to details to avoid too messy prospects.

It is common to take family photos at the dinner table, but aside from the flash, the food, wine and drinks on the table are messy enough. We should pay attention to every detail in the photo and remove items that should not appear.

5. The unique perspective makes the space expand infinitely.

Many times, we can use a brand-new way to layout space from different angles. When many people take a group photo, we can choose to shoot from the perspective of overlooking, so that the expressions of people in the back row can be clearly displayed and will not be blocked by the front row.

6. Make good use of composition

Triangular composition shooting multi-person family portraits When the number of family portraits is very large, we can arrange the characters in the front and back rows for shooting, and the number of people in each row is different. It is best to form a regular triangle or an inverted triangle composition, which will look more comfortable and tidy.

7. Seize the wonderful moment.

Who said that a family photo is just standing together and smirking at the camera properly? As long as you are with your family, every moment can form a warm family portrait, but it requires the photographer's ability to capture.
