Teach you to take good pictures of children.

Lead: Many film friends often ask me about the parameters, exposure and white balance of a photo, but few people ask me about the design ideas and themes in the early stage of a photo. I want to shoot the purest side of children, so I choose a fresher environment to shoot. I always say that the closest person is the best practice object. Taking a photo is not as simple as pressing the shutter. We need to find clothes suitable for the subject, suitable shooting environment and set the theme. Then I'll explain it to you with my guest film.

Teach you to take good pictures of children. I chose a corner of the forest park, a place that my movie friends are familiar with. I want to express my sincere feelings with the simplest composition. In all my photos, I think emotional expression is the most important, so I will mobilize the subject's emotions to a very high level to shoot. I capture children with pure natural light. The first step in learning photography is to find light with your eyes. No matter whether you want to take a backlight or a smooth one, light and shadow will make your photo. If photography is a dish, first of all, as a photographer, you should choose your ingredients, that is, what kind of pictures you want to shoot. Secondly, I think the later stage is an essential condiment for shooting, but condiments can't replace the main ingredients, so don't put the things that can be solved in the early stage into the later stage.

In the early stage, the shooting details and the skin color of the child are generally guaranteed. When the expression reaches the feeling you want, then these two are the most important. During the whole shooting process, I tried not to let the baby think that I took pictures with a purpose. I prepared a lot of balloons as shooting props in advance, and I want the feeling that my baby and mother are taking pictures together in a wedding dress. This kind of photo may be put on the baby's wedding in a few years, which will bring some emotion. This is the theme of my early planning, and it can also be said that this group of photos is meaningful to the guests.

I will choose to increase the shutter speed when shooting, because all children are more active, and it is far better to shoot a group of photos in play than to use the tone of command to guide the shooting. I often hide in some casual places to take snapshots, or take photos while the prospects are good. Need low angle or high angle shooting. You must learn to use your body to make some compositions from different angles. Sigma 50 1.4 and 35 1.4 are my necessary shooting tools, and I also like sharpness and Jiao Wai. In my photography field, there is no difference between guest films and sample films. I like to shoot real ordinary people. Photography comes from life. I usually watch some works by Tian Ming Bin to improve my new understanding of children's photography.

I think with the progress of the times, taking pictures of children is not only to choose a suit in a photo studio, but also to record a beautiful day's life. There are too many scenes in our life to shoot. On the way to school, the angry expression of the child's refusal to eat and the baby's coquetry and shyness with you are the best scenes. What photos are good for children's photography? I think the definition is simple. A photo full of love is a good photo.

When shooting every baby, you should know her personality and preferences. Babies with different personalities shoot in slightly different ways. You should let him feel your sincerity and make friends with her. I need your prediction more when shooting. You don't know what the child will look like in the next second. It is very important to pay attention to communication and shooting. As a professional photographer, I will choose to unify the tone of photos, express and tell my story completely, and show it frame by frame like a movie. Photography doesn't have to travel far. For most people, the meaning lies in recording life. Recording your girl and her, an important person in life, is better than taking a car model.

I am very much in favor of film photographers taking a miniature camera with them to photograph children's daily lives. On the one hand, you can constantly practice composition and practice your feelings about photography. On the other hand, many of the daily life content that you shoot yourself can't be photographed by photographers. The happiest thing is to record the child's growth process and integrate his emotions into every shot.

Finally, I will answer some questions from my movie friends. Welcome to leave a comment and interact with me.

Q 1。 The biggest difficulty in children's photo shooting is that the baby is active. How to guide him correctly if he is dishonest?

A: My favorite thing is to move the baby more. Babies don't hide their emotions. Generally, such babies are more likely to take colorful photos.

Q2。 How do you usually choose children's clothes?

A: Generally, I will ask guests to bring 3-5 sets of clothes with simple colors to shoot. Clothes are not the most important thing, the most important thing is emotion, so be friendly.

Q3。 My baby is two and a half months old at home. How to shoot indoors with natural light?

A: There is a window. Choose a sunny day and take a beam of light to take the simplest shot. You can buy some props online to match the shooting, and the baby doesn't need a flash.

Q4。 How to guide children to reach their best state?

A: Don't shoot yet. Spend more time with her This is to pave the way for better shooting. Make friends with her, and she will be willing to cooperate with you in shooting.

Q5。 What focusing mode and metering mode do children use for quick action?

A: Everyone has different habits. I usually use multi-focus snapshots and central focus photometry.

Q6: It's a little boring when children are still filming. Do you have any experience in composition, and you always use it up?

I will change the shooting position with the light. Light and shadow are very important. Regarding composition, I suggest putting emotions first when shooting, because children's patience is limited, and many actions once again lose their original feelings. They must make an instinctive composition response quickly, and they need to shoot more and practice more.

Q7: As a parent, I would like to ask how to choose the shooting location and style, because not everyone has a good idea?

A: When you go back to your life to shoot a small scene in your life, you can set a theme for yourself, called Baby Day, and record bits and pieces from the time you get up.
