What machine and lens should I choose to do children's photography?

1, Canon 70D is recommended for the fuselage. Children are more active, so the requirements for focusing speed and accuracy are higher. The focusing system of 70D is better. Of course, other bodies can also be used. At present, the body performance of SLR is similar, but it is not recommended to use micro-single. Good micro-singles are very expensive, such as Sony A7 and Fuji XT 1, which are not cost-effective, but the focusing speed and accuracy of entry-level micro-singles can't keep up. If you shoot in the shed, you don't care if it is portable or not;

2. Although the tolerance of the sensor of Canon 70D is not the best, it doesn't matter much. Shed shooting mainly depends on indoor lighting, and generally there is no environment with large light ratio. Canon's excellent color reproduction can play a great role;

3. It is recommended to use fixed focus for the lens (taking Canon as an example, the lenses of other brands of cameras are different, but they are generally of this focal length). On the one hand, the picture quality is good, on the other hand, the price is relatively cheap. Canon spittoon, that is, 50F 1.8 lens (high cost performance) or 40 biscuit mirror (high definition), 85F2.8 is recommended for outdoor focusing. If you need a convenient zoom lens, recommend the original factory 17-55F2.8 or the factory's Longteng24-70f2.8 and Sigma 18. Portrait photography, the big aperture is the foundation, although the dog head can also shoot good films, but because of the aperture, the success rate of portrait photography is low. Aperture is a physical element, and technology is difficult to make up for it;

4. I don't know much about the lighting equipment of shed lighting, but I need at least two lights (including reflector), one is the main picture lighting, and the other is the contour light. For example, butterfly lighting, the front light with the light source set behind the camera will create shadows on the cheeks and chin, so it will highlight the cheekbones on both sides of the cheeks, make the face look thinner and the chin sharper, which can enhance the charm of the object; Another example is Paramount lighting, which is a lighting technology commonly used by Rembrandt. The triangular light level on his face is a mark. Different from circular lighting, the nose is connected with the shadow of the cheek, but more importantly, the eyes on the other side of the shadow still have eyes to keep the face bright and the photos are dramatic. Lighting is a science, which needs to be learned slowly. It is suggested that lighting equipment be added slowly according to your own learning progress.

If you are diligent, you can become a photographer in one year. Photography is quick to get started, difficult to get advanced, and difficult to become a master. The shortcut to learning photography is to focus on observation and imitation after mastering the basic principles of digital imaging. It is suggested that you visit the websites such as Color Shadow Infinite Forum, Zhongguancun Forum, Hummingbird Forum, New Photography Forum, etc., especially the Color Shadow Infinite Text Forum, where the water is deep, the experts are like clouds, the nutrients are rich, and the progress will be rapid. This method is the same as learning to draw. Learning photography depends on understanding, not teaching;

Photography must be learned later. It is recommended to learn to use Freescale software or LR software. Good photos, post-technology accounts for at least 50%. It is recommended to use Freescale software, the color is the best, no one.

I hope it helps you.
