Mommy's experience sharing+photographer's profession suggests that the baby take photos with ID card & a baby with a lively passport has to try several times to take good photos for him, so taking photos of the baby sounds like a huge and arduous project? Parenting Life magazine invited seven amateur mothers to share their experiences in taking baby photos, and asked children photographers with many years of experience to give professional advice. How to take the baby's ID photo?

It may only take a few minutes for parents to take a photo of their ID card. Young babies can't read the instructions and can't just look at the camera. What should they do if they want to take a photo of their ID card? Some mothers choose to shoot at home with the whole family, and some mothers take their babies to the studio to ask professional photographers to shoot.

Option 1, do it yourself:

Seeing mommy sharing the experience of taking pictures of her baby online, Tiny Mommy thought that she would record her baby's daily life with a camera, so she tried to take pictures of her baby herself. Mommy Tiny said that taking a photo at home makes the baby familiar with the environment and safe, so there is no need to worry about environmental hygiene. Hold the camera in one hand and use a toy with sound in the other to attract the baby's attention. Tiny Mommy's daughter is the most energetic and happy after getting up for 30 minutes, so I will take this time to take pictures of her.

Cindy's mother also referred to the experience of online mommy. She saw that a mother mentioned taking photos with a photographer, but she was not satisfied with the photos. They may even take pictures by themselves because the flash in the studio scares the baby and risks being returned. Cindy's mother said that in our family, dad is responsible for looking in the mirror, and mom takes toys or makes faces to attract her son's attention. Sometimes he sits and sometimes he lies down. It must be noted that there is a white background behind the baby. Because the baby will have emotions and can't communicate directly, so take a few photos to see if he is in a good mood today, and then take a few more photos after accumulating some photos.

Mother Joycebe thinks her 6-month-old baby is not very active. In a familiar environment, it should be easy to take successful photos when looking for a baby in a good mood, so I don't want to spend extra money to ask a photographer to take pictures. In the living room with integral floor-to-ceiling windows (good lighting), Mommy Joycebe put a game mat and a pure white bath towel to let the baby lie on it when he is full, sleeping well and in a good mood. Then, from the baby, she cooperated with her husband. One person makes a sound to attract the baby's attention, and the other person points the camera at the baby's face.

Rachel took the big picture of mommy's baby herself. One is to save money, and the other is to feel that I have a precious memory when I took it. When the baby is full of food and drink, find a white wall, and the whole family will call his name crazily on the other side of the phone to keep the baby's attention on the camera. The whole shooting time was about half an hour. When I looked back at the photos, I found that I took almost one hundred photos. Of course, there are also many failed works in which babies cry uncontrollably. Mommy Rachel said that taking a photo of a certificate is just like taking a baby's daily photo. As long as the light is sufficient, the face is forward and the expression is natural, it will be ok ~ the rest will be retouched later!

Mommy Jiang Niuniu wants to say that the baby is still young, and taking photos in the studio feels a little out of control, so she found a suitable photo of her daily life, and then retouched it with photoshop software as a photo voucher.

Mommy's experience sharing+photographer professionally recommends the baby to take photos of ID card & passport.

Point 1, master work and rest

As parents, we must know the baby's schedule very well and take pictures when the baby is in a good mental state, so as to take pictures of looking at the camera (little mommy).

When the baby wakes up with a full stomach and a good mood, it is the best time for the whole family to take an ID photo (Rachel Mommy).

Second, hurry up.

Take time to shoot (about 10 minutes). If the time is too long, the baby may be impatient and cry (Joycebe Mommy).

Third, close the shutter.

When the baby looks at the camera, press the shutter several times to ensure that there are more photos to choose from and the success rate will be higher (Joycebe Mommy).

1 photo id, took more than 100, because the baby is too young to communicate. If you want your baby to look straight and shut up, you need to seize the opportunity (little mommy).

Experienced parents will say, "Just press the shutter all the time", and they can always choose a satisfactory work from hundreds of photos (Cindy Mommy).

Professional advice for children photographers

After watching the sharing of practical experience of mothers, let's see what suggestions and tips Li Xueli, a professional child photographer, has for taking pictures of babies at home.

Point 1, prepare a white background.

Decide whether to lie down or sit and take pictures according to the baby's development. The baby can only take pictures on his stomach, which is relatively simple. Let the baby lie on the bed covered with white cloth, and parents can take pictures from top to bottom. Babies who can sit by themselves should find a white wall and let them sit in front and shoot.

Second, avoid too strong light.

It is more difficult to shoot at home, except that parents should pay attention to the body not to block the light and avoid shadows appearing on the baby's face.

If the light is too strong, the shadow will be more obvious. If the baby is lying down to take pictures, the problem is smaller, because there are usually fluorescent lamps at home, and the light is softer when shooting from top to bottom.

Then, the color of the light at home is yellow, and the color temperature can be reduced by post-production software, which will look whiter.

Third, pay attention to your eyes, mouth and ears.

Always pay attention to your baby's eyes, mouth and ears. If the baby's ears are too close, it is not easy to take pictures. You can put a pinch of cotton or toilet paper behind your ears to make them obviously exposed.

At point 4, the shutter is not less than1125.

If shooting with a camera, it is suggested that the shutter speed should not be lower than1125, so that a faster shutter can condense the baby's movements and make the photos clear and not shake.

Mommy's experience sharing+photographer's professional recommendation for baby to take ID photo, and complete ID & passport option 2. Give it to the major:

Mommy Watermelon took the photo of the first application herself, but it was taken by the staff of the Household Affairs Office (sighing), so she took the baby to a special photo studio (Kodak Studio). Before the baby could sit by himself, dad put on a piece of white cloth as the background of human flesh and patted the baby in his arms. However, a 2-month-old baby is really not funny at all, and his head is dangling. The photographer and mommy clapped their hands, rang the bell and made all kinds of strange noises. Finally, they took 1 or two photos of the camera.

Wendy's mother, who invited a professional photographer (happy hour wedding photography team) to take pictures of the baby, said that photographer Li Qunge was as friendly as his big brother next door and his photography skills were reassuring, so when he decided to take pictures of the baby, his first thought was him.

On the day of shooting, Wendy's mother took the baby to sleep until she was full and went to the set. Dad sat the baby on his lap, facing the photographer. Mommy waved the baby's favorite red bear doll and bell, and the aunt who always made the baby laugh and laugh attracted the baby to watch the camera with her voice and exaggerated expression. The photographer took 10 photos in 15 minutes and finally chose a photo with a smile but no teeth.

Professional answers for children photographers

Dad wants to know the details of the baby taking pictures in the children's studio more than mommy. Please welcome tinyck Li Xueli, photographer of Xiaoshiqi Image Museum, will answer your questions.

Q 1: How often do babies go to the photo studio to take photos?

A:

● 0 ~ 1 month: babies who are not yet full moon usually need to take photos with their foreign parents when they return home or visit relatives, and they can also apply for medical insurance cards by the way. Or take a photo of the newborn, and also take a photo that conforms to the specifications.

● 10 ~ 24 months: Parents in Taiwan Province Province need to bring their certificates and passports when they want to take their babies abroad for sightseeing while they are still enjoying preferential air tickets under 2 years old.

Q2: What is the process of baby taking pictures in the photo studio?

A:

●Step 1, matters needing attention in communication shooting

Different from general photo shooting, ID photo has its requirements, such as baby's eyes can't be closed, mouth can't be opened too wide, and ears should be exposed. The key is clear facial features, and the photographer will explain it to his parents first.

At this time, ask your baby's characteristics or habits, such as being in a good mood when you hear a song and laughing when you see something. If the baby is afraid of life, he will let his father or mother guide him behind the camera when shooting. If the baby is in good condition, in fact, adults can rest (cock their feet ~).

●Step2, select the color and style of the coat and replace it.

The background of a photo is usually white. It is recommended to avoid wearing a pure white coat. Pink, pink yellow, pink blue and other colors are good choices. The baby is wrapped in a towel, and then the baby can be taken. The baby wears a collarless one-piece rabbit suit, which is convenient for lying flat. If you wear clothes with a collar, it may cover your neck. It seems that your head is big and your neck is short, and your proportion is not very good. 1 older babies can wear plain shirts or clothes with collars.

● Step3, choose to lie or sit and shoot according to the age of the month.

Babies under 6 months will take a prone position to shoot, and babies over 6 months will choose to sit and shoot. If the baby can't sit still by himself, he has to cover his father or mother with a white cloth, and then let the baby sit on an adult's lap and take pictures.

●Step4, guide the baby to watch the camera shoot.

After the background and lighting are arranged, the shooting begins. Usually, the photographer is responsible for shooting with the camera, and the instructor (another staff member) uses props or cookies to stabilize the baby and look at the camera at the right time.

Newborns can contrast strong black and white cards to attract their baby's attention to the camera. Babies aged 4 ~ 10 months can attract attention by holding toys that can make sound or light. The favorite items of a baby over one year old are not necessarily toys, but may be the remote control at home and the key of his father.

● Step 5: Select photos and edit the output.

Use the big screen of the computer to let parents choose photos, and then edit them after shooting, remove small facial defects, remove the back of worn parts, and modify skin color or other specified requirements. After proofreading, it can be output according to the required certificate format and cut into parts for delivery. Electronic documents use the cloud to deliver parts on the same day.

Q3: How long does it usually take to take a photo?

A:

It takes about 10 minutes to communicate, prepare and change clothes.

The shooting process is about 15 minutes.

Maintenance communication and post-conditioning15 ~ 20min

Output the finished product for about 10 minutes.

It takes about 50 minutes to complete the output and get the finished product.

Q4: What are the advantages of taking the baby to the photo studio to take ID photos, compared with taking baby photos at home?

A:

● Compared with the time it takes to shoot by yourself (especially when there is a big treasure at home, it is generally anxious), under the guidance and shooting of professional children photographers, the baby's expression is natural, and the shooting is fast and efficient, so it is not necessary to waste too much time.

Low studio continuous light shooting brightness is enough, soft light does not hurt the eyes.

Cameras, computers, and output printers are all color-calibrated, so there is no problem of output color difference, and it also meets the requirements of outputting various certificate photo formats, which is fast and convenient.

When the baby comes to a strange studio, he still doesn't know the situation, and his expression is usually frightened or expressionless. But a photographer in Li Xueli once met a 2-year-old baby. He laughed for 40 minutes until the baby got tired of laughing. He took a total of 200 photos, only a few without laughing.

Mommy's experience sharing+photographer's career advice: the baby takes a photo of ID card and gets the ID card & passport, the baby's first ID card.

Babies usually use household registration books as identification documents. Why does mommy need to help the baby apply for an ID card? What should I pay attention to when bidding? Come and see mommy's experience!

As a birthday present.

When Mommy Rachel saw Mommy sharing the baby's ID photo at the club, she felt that the baby's immature mug shot was in sharp contrast with the ID card, which was not only novel, but also memorable, so she applied for it when the baby was 1 1 month old as a birthday gift for her first birthday (laughs ~ it was just what Mommy wanted).

Put it in your wallet for easy storage.

Cindy's mother has seen other mothers share their ID cards for their babies. At first, she thought it was cute. Later, she found it too troublesome to take the baby to apply for documents. So I decided to help my baby get an ID card, and I usually put it in my wallet with Mommy's ID card, which is convenient for storage and not easy to lose.

It's easy to fly by domestic plane.

Wendy's mother and her family often fly between Taipei and Taitung. Babies under 2 years old can fly free of charge, but they need to provide relevant documents when reporting. Before, they used a household registration book, but they always found it inconvenient to carry it, so they applied for an ID card when the baby was 9 months old.

Applying for an ID card is full of twists and turns.

Mommy watermelon ran back and forth three times and finally succeeded when the baby was 2 months old. For the first time, I applied with my face photo. This employee has never encountered a case of applying at such a young age. I checked the regulations and confirmed that I can apply, but I said that the big photo must be taken in the photo studio to be a formal photo.

The second time, I came to the household registration office with my ID card, but Mommy Watermelon forgot to bring the person who applied for the ID card, that is, the baby, so I had to go home again. The third time, the photo was ready and the baby was brought, but the household registration book was forgotten. Fortunately, I was at the household registration office, read the information immediately, and finally got my baby's ID card back (I almost came @ @ for the fourth time).

When you get a cute baby ID card, you don't need to take out your household registration book. Every time I take out my baby ID card, I always get a sigh of "so cute". Mommy Watermelon said that a baby ID card is the truest record to commemorate her coming into this world.

Mommy's experience sharing+photographer's career advice: the baby takes photos of the ID card and gets the ID card & passport to apply for the ID card.

After the birth registration within 60 days from the baby's birthday, you will have the ID number. At this time, you can go to any household registration office.

Documents to be prepared:

1. The national identity card, seal or signature of parents (legal representatives).

2. The original baby booklet or photo ID.

3. 1 baby photos or digital photos that meet the specifications taken in the last 2 years.

4. 50 yuan will be charged for each new ID card (counter payment or easy card payment).

Mommy's experience sharing+photographer professionally recommends the baby to take ID photos and get an ID card & passport. Key points for ID card processing:

Point 1, prepare several sets of photos for later use.

In order to avoid being photographed, it is better to shoot outside (watermelon mommy)!

Wash more sets of photos and take them to the scene for the clerk to choose, because there may still be a gap between the standards and regulations recognized by the general public. Just take a few sets of photos with you and ask the clerk to help you choose. It shouldn't be rejected (Cindy Mommy).

Second, upload files without developing photos.

You don't have to develop your photos. You can click "Online Application" → "Upload National Identity Card Image" on the Global Information Network (ris.gov) of the Household Administration Department of the Ministry of the Interior, and apply for a national identity card at the counter of the Household Administration Department after the upload is successful. After uploading, the file is only kept for 5 days, so it must be handled at the household registration office within 5 days (Wendy Mommy).

Third, you can book online in advance.

Mommy who doesn't want to spend time waiting at the scene and save counter time can make an online appointment in advance. Enter the global information network of the Home Affairs Department of the Ministry of the Interior (ris.gov), click "Online Application" → "Online Appointment of Civil Affairs Registration", and select the District Office you want to make an appointment with.

Fourth, if you can't attend, you must fill in the consent form.

The baby needs both mom and dad to go to the scene to apply for ID cards. If you can't do it together, those who are not present need to fill in the consent form and give it to the other party.

Baby's first passport

Of course, the baby's passport is for traveling abroad. Joycebe's baby will travel to Kansai, Japan for 5 days when he is 7 months old. Little mommy takes her baby to Okinawa 1 1 month old; Cindy's mommy's baby traveled in Japan for 6 days and 5 nights when it was almost 1 1 month. Mommy Jiang Niuniu took her baby abroad for the first time and went to Korea for 4 days and 3 nights.

You have to go in person to get a passport for the first time.

July 1 00-July1,people who apply for ordinary passports for the first time must go to the Consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the offices of Zhongnan, East China and Yunjianan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in person; If it is inconvenient to go in person, you must apply for a "personal identification certificate" at the home office before you can entrust an agent to apply for a passport of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In other words, to apply for a baby passport, the baby should go to the Consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or local offices. If the baby can't go in person, he should also fill in the passport application form at the Ministry of the Interior and accept "personal confirmation", and then entrust relatives and friends or travel agencies to handle the passport on his behalf.

"Personal identification" means that the personnel of the Household Affairs Office check the national identity card information of the first passport applicant with the relevant information filled in the passport application. After the comparison is correct, check the appearance of people. If it is confirmed, the staff of the household registration office will stamp the applicant's passport application. /kloc-Babies under the age of 0/4 who have not applied for a national identity card must submit a household registration book or a transcript of the household registration applied for in the last 3 months.

Online booking saves time.

Passport applications must be made on the spot. If you go to the Consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you can make an online appointment 10 working days in advance (click on the passport on the website of the Consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs → apply for a passport: online appointment/online appointment for a passport → online appointment for a passport). An appointment quota can only apply for a personal passport once, and you must go to the site according to the appointment date and time. If you can't make an appointment, you can also apply directly to the site.

Mommy's experience sharing+photographer's professional advice is that the baby should take pictures and get an ID card & passport. The baby's passport is in 900 yuan.

Passport fee 1, 300 yuan, but due to the shortened validity of passports below 14, each passport is charged in 900 yuan. Applications for new photos can be collected within 4 working days after acceptance. 1 If it is accepted in the morning, it can be collected on the morning of the 5th.

If the passport application needs to be expedited, an expedited processing fee will be charged. If the payment is made in advance 1 working day, 300 yuan will be added (if it is less than 1 working day, it will be counted as 1 working day). 600 yuan will be charged 2 working days in advance. 900 yuan will be charged 3 working days in advance.

Documents to be prepared:

If the child is under 14 years old and has not applied for an ID card:

1. The original and photocopy of the household registration book with detailed comments, or the original and photocopy of the household registration book in the last three months.

2. Two color photos with white background.

3. The original ID card of the parent or guardian and two copies of the front and back.

Photo specifications:

The photo specifications are the same as those of the previous application for ID card.

Key points of passport application:

Point 1, prepare several versions of photos as backup.

I recommend photocap, a free retouching software with a passport-sized template. Parents can take retouched pictures at home and send them to be developed, or they can develop two more versions to prevent the photos from becoming invalid, which is convenient and economical. (Joycebe Mommy)

Point2, it is best to make an appointment first and fill in the basic information.

It's best to make an appointment for your passport online first. At the same time, you can fill in basic information on the bidding website. After printing, you can take it to the Consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apply for a passport and follow the instructions of the staff. At the same time, you can also help me choose baby photos. The submission was successful, it was completed in less than 30 minutes, and it can be obtained in 4 working days. (Cindy Mommy)

The third point. Don't confirm your application within 6 months.

If the passport application is confirmed by the household registration authority, it must be renewed at the consular bureau or the fourth office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within 6 months. Overdue, as I did not confirm.

Fourth, receive the receipt! Passports can be collected by agents.

I collect it myself, and take the original ID card and the original payment receipt with me to collect my passport. If I can't get my passport in person, I can entrust a competent agent to bring the original ID card and the original payment receipt to get my passport on my behalf.
