Shooting skills of children's photography

Lead: Children always blink innocent eyes. It is very precious to keep this beautiful thing for later memories. So how do you shoot a child? What are the shooting techniques suitable for children? Everybody follow me.

Shooting skills of children's photography 1. Distinguish by age.

Children of different ages have different coping styles. For younger babies, parents need to actively mobilize their emotions. For example, use toys and make faces to make them laugh. The photos taken in this way can often reflect the cutest side of children.

Maternal and child equipment: Canon EOS 6DF/41/60ISO1600.

When children grow up, they also begin to have their own desire to express themselves. At this time, we often don't need to make them laugh everywhere as we did when we were children, but let them play freely. For example, give them a delicious popsicle to make them happy, and then the lovely nature of children will be released naturally, such as the following.

Formula equipment in midsummer: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅲ F/2.811250ISO 800.

Because parents often take pictures of their children at home, they have high requirements for high-sensitivity image quality of the camera. We can see that the models used by the authors of these photos include full-frame cameras such as EOS 6D and EOS 5D Mark III. This is because the full-frame camera has a larger CMOS, which ensures that it can obtain higher pixels and lower pixels per inch, so that it can obtain very fine and high-quality photos under the conditions of low illumination and high sensitivity.

Take a snapshot in the distance

Capturing from a distance is a good way to record a child's natural state. Because if the distance is too close, children may be afraid of the camera. But when they don't pay attention to the camera, they often show the most life-oriented side. At this time, it is easy to press the shutter and shoot a successful work.

Eagle equipment in boxing: Canon EOS1DXF/21/2000ISO100.

This is a photo taken by a child while practicing Taekwondo. Because it was shot in the distance with a telephoto lens, it didn't bother him at all, so the child's serious expression and stretching posture were well captured.

There is a girl's equipment: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅲ F/41/800ISO200.

The same is true of this photo. The author recorded her daughter's every move in the distance and successfully captured this melancholy look. It is very natural and lovely for the girl to look at the distance with her chin cupped. We can see that the devices used by the authors of these two photos are EOS 1DX and EOS 5D Markⅲ III, respectively, because the autofocus ability and continuous shooting speed of these two models are outstanding. In this case, it is easier to capture the child's gestures and the probability of success is higher. Especially when shooting dynamic scenes, the artificial intelligence servo focusing function provided by the camera is very practical, and it is strongly recommended that you try it.

3. Make full use of large aperture

When shooting children, we can use large aperture and close-up lens without any worries. This is because children's skin is the best time in their lives. Using a large aperture lens, you can show your child's lovely face and the best skin texture with a shallow depth of field effect. At the same time, it has a fantastic blur effect, reflecting a good sense of hierarchy.

Foreign children's equipment: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅲ F/2.01/800ISO200.

Equipment of the two sisters: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅲ F/3.21/250ISO100.

Because full-frame cameras can better reflect the effect of background blur, we can see that there are many users who use EOS 5D Mark III and other equipment to shoot children's works. If you have enough budget when buying a camera, I also strongly recommend starting with the Quan Huafu fuselage. In one step? .

4. Take photos with friends or parents.

When children are with friends or parents, they often have a strong sense of security, thus showing their truest and most natural side. At the same time, such photos are often more meaningful and interesting because they reflect the elements of friendship or family.

Children's equipment in Dashan Village: Canon EOS 5D Mark Ⅲ F/4.51125 ISO 200.

This photo records several friends playing together in the mountain village. They play with the railing on the house as a horizontal bar, and the shabby environment is in sharp contrast with the children's happy expressions. We can feel that although the living conditions are not good, the children are happy and naive at all.

Equipment for sowing happiness: Canon EOS 700 D F/6.31100 ISO100.

This photo records the time when the child and his mother traveled together from a different angle. My mother didn't reflect this situation positively, but took a shadow, which can be said to be very creative. On the shooting equipment, my mother used EOS 700D D. As a cost-effective entry-level SLR, the 700D is very suitable for home users. It has high image quality, light volume and easy to carry around. It has also become the first SLR camera purchased by many families.
