What skills should children master in photography (2)

8. Let it run its course

Sometimes I meet some particularly timid children, and once they are not properly guided, they will make him sulk or cry with a straight face. In this case, the most common reaction of parents is to hide the camera. Because people are often used to thinking that it is a good shot for children to smile when taking pictures, otherwise it seems that they will not show their liveliness and cuteness. In fact, this is not absolute. Because photography is an art, art pays attention to beauty. The true goodness is beauty. As long as it is the expression of true feelings, other expressions of children, such as anger, surprise, curiosity, surprise, injustice and even crying, are of aesthetic value and can enter the camera. Therefore, if a child cries while taking pictures, you can just take pictures of him crying or angry, which is realistic and can be kept as a souvenir in the future.

9. Follow the photography method

The children are very active and full of energy. A healthy child seldom stays still for a few seconds in his life. However, there are also touching childish interests in sports. How to take a good picture of the children in the activity, so that the image is clear and dynamic? It is a good method to follow the shooting method.

Follow-up photography mainly relies on the' strong contrast' between the virtual movement of the background and the clarity of the subject to express the movement. In order to better emphasize this contrast and strong sense of movement, we should choose dark and chaotic background, such as trees, crowds, dark buildings and so on. In this way, when the rotating camera follows the shooting, fuzzy lines will appear in the background, which is in sharp contrast with the bright and clear shooting subject. Side light and background light should be used in the light, so that the moving subject can get a distinct outline line, which is not easy to blend with the background color, which is more conducive to highlighting the subject.

10, continuous photography

The so-called continuous photography refers to a series of closely related photos taken through the continuation of shooting time. In children's photography, continuous photography can vividly and systematically record the whole process of children's activities, especially it can show children's emotional changes step by step and portray children's expressions in detail. The photos taken by the successful continuous shooting method are profound in expression and strong in appeal, which is often incomparable to a single photo.
