Summary of children's photography experience

Love and patience are the basis of taking good photos for children. Children's emotions and behaviors are passive, which makes their attention difficult to last. It is hard for us to imagine that children before the age of three will "pose". Children's feelings are keen and direct, so we must really like children. If you want to shoot good children's photography, you must communicate with your children with your heart. On the other hand, children's expressions are ever-changing, their gestures are always naive, and they are natural performers. Most photos of children at home should be taken by snapshot. I object to letting children go to the photo studio to take so-called "children's photos". Most of these photos are too old-fashioned or artificial.

2. Children's photography is taboo

Children's photography itself is difficult, and there are many taboos in China. For example, children can't take pictures when they sleep. There is a saying that children will have nightmares because of fright, especially the elderly. Of course, this doesn't make much scientific sense. Children can take pictures while sleeping, as long as they are careful not to disturb them. However, if there are old people present, especially when your parents-in-law or parents-in-law are present, don't shoot to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

However, we must pay attention to the use of flash. From a medical point of view, the baby's visual nervous system is not fully developed from birth to three years old, and strong light will have a negative impact on the development of the eye disease system. Therefore, when shooting, try to avoid using flash, and it is best to shoot with natural light. Some stupid automatic cameras will automatically activate the flash when the light is poor, so be sure to pay attention. Older children can shoot with a flash when necessary, but it is also best to fill the light with reflection or add a soft light in front of the flash.

You can shoot anything at any time.

What can children's photography shoot? In fact, in addition to the routine head and bust shooting, all parts of the body can be photographed, such as small hands and feet, which are worth taking pictures as a souvenir.

The typhoon of the model is trained, and the child should also take pictures from an early age, often and consistently, so that he can develop the habit of looking at the camera naturally, unpretentious and generous. You can become a qualified professional family photographer if you shoot more. Pay attention to the timing when shooting children, because beautiful scenes are fleeting, so that children can relax and enjoy themselves, which will be more natural and lively. Digital cameras have no pressure on film consumption, so they can shoot in large quantities at any time.

Step 4 change the shooting angle

Children's photos record their growing experiences and should be multidimensional. The "angle" here has two meanings. One is the shooting angle. There must be at least three angles when shooting, such as shooting at the angle of the child's head up, standing higher, squatting or even lying down. Try to change the vertical angle as much as possible, and also change the shooting distance and focal length of the lens. In addition to full-length or bust, there should be close-ups and prospects. In addition to using a medium telephoto lens, you can also use a wide-angle lens. It's like a movie with more scene changes and more "life".

On the other hand, children should also have rich perspectives. Most of the photos taken by parents for their children are "smiles", which are monotonous and blunt. Children have rich expressions. To record his growth, we must record his joys and sorrows. This is life. Laugh, cry, be angry, be silent, be in a daze, and make faces. Most smiling photos are ordinary, and a strange photo may remind the baby of a "story" when he grows up.
