Five main points of children's photography

Lead: In fact, in the final analysis, many children can become popular on the Internet since childhood. In addition to their good looks, there is another important reason, that is, because the photos are well taken! ! ! However, it is not so difficult to take good pictures of children, as long as you master the following points.

First of all, fresh style.

Whether it's the Hanfu photo of Xiaoyue Moon, which has been popular all over the country recently, or the group of "Little Fairy and Little Apple", the picture style is very fresh, which shows how popular the fresh children's film is. Children's world is sunny and naive, and it is not suitable to express it in gloomy tones. Moreover, children's photography is more about recording children's life and growth, and the fresh colors are revitalized, and at the same time, it can better express children's innocence.

Second, natural snapshots.

Children of different ages have different reactions to the camera, but usually they don't like to face the camera. Is it really worth pressing the shutter when they look at the camera? Since we want to record their lives, we should capture their natural moments more. Therefore, you can try to capture the natural moments when they get along with their families, interact with something, or play at home, so as not to take some stiff or far-fetched photos.

Third, soft light

There are two main reasons for choosing soft light when shooting children. First, such light will make children's skin appearance and face more comfortable. Second, if you use a rigid light source, it is easy to burn your child's delicate eyes, so that he can't open his eyes when shooting.

Uniform and smooth

Because children are lively and active, it is not very convenient to hit the reflector. When shooting outdoors, try to choose morning or near dusk. The light in these two periods is the most uniform and soft, which can bring great convenience to shooting.

Backlighting

If the light is strong, it is recommended to shoot against the light, which can avoid the light source from directly hitting the children's eyes and create a particularly beautiful atmosphere. The best time to shoot backlight is in the evening, one or two hours before sunset, because at this time, the sunset light is soft and golden, and the contrast between the characters and the background is small, so it is easy to create beautiful pictures and shoot touching emotional films.

Four. Documentary "Time"

The greatest significance of children's photography is to record children's life and growth. Different from adult photography, it is more important to record their growth stories, instead of making their faces look better and their legs longer from various angles. So, pay as much attention as possible and shoot the moment that belongs to them. The first tooth, the first birthday, every happiness and sorrow will be their best memories when they grow up.

Fifth, the comfortable later period.

Children's photography aims at recording the truth, and should not be changed too much in the later stage, with color as the main factor. Generally speaking, children's films are dominated by bright and transparent pictures and clear and natural characters. Therefore, Japanese small fresh and elegant film color is the best tone for children's films.
