Lead: After having a baby, many parents are specially equipped with professional equipment, hoping to record the growth process for the baby in their spare time. When you pick up the camera, you often feel confused-how can you take different photos? Here are a few tips, hoping to bring some new ideas to your shooting.

1. Potential customers:

If you want to take artistic photos, you can make more use of them. Prospects? Cooperation. Flowers and toys can be used as prospects. Don't underestimate these props, they can make the photos look more story-telling. At the same time, it can also increase the artistic sense of the picture.

Choose a large aperture, then choose the part you want to highlight, press the shutter half, and focus clearly. Different photos will pop up on the paper immediately.

? ? Tip: We can also do DIY with flowers and grass. Prospects? , so that you can not be limited by the natural environment. The method is simple: put the grass in front of the camera (as shown on the right). It would be better if you had family to hold it for you. You can also adjust the distance at will. Take flowers and plants of any color you want. Try more and be creative. With the vague green foreground, is the picture on the left deeper?

Although the following two pictures are basically similar in composition, do they give people different feelings because of different emphasis?

Focus on the child's face: the flowers in front will be hazy;

Focus on the flowers in front: the face behind is not so clear.

On the right, the child's little hand is holding the bouquet carefully, his face is still hazy, and the happy expression sets off a warm atmosphere.

Let the cake act as a picture here? Prospects? You can focus on the characters or try to put them on colored candles. Prospects? It increases the sense of space and story of the picture.

The child washed out a big bubble in the bathtub. She was ecstatic and held it carefully. Why do children like bubbles so much-because the colors of the whole world are reflected there.

2. Use reflection and shadow:

We can see the reflected picture through the smooth surface such as mirror and glass. Trying to shoot the baby with this reflection can not only add three-dimensional sense to the photo, but also make the photo full of story. Give it a try.

Parents can try to aim the camera at the mirror and record the child's most natural state.

Children love to play with water in rainy days, and the dark ground has good reflective effect. At this time, we try to make a composition based on reflection.

3. Little hands and feet also have expressions:

The child filled his small bag with sweets. Although there are only some hands and pockets in the photo, he can still feel the smug and contented look of the child when he gets his beloved items.

Mom and dad can also try to pat some baby's little hands and feet. Although I don't show my face, I'm just as lively and interesting. Just try it.

? ? Similarly, there is no smiling face of children in the picture, but you can feel the freedom at this moment. Sky, clouds, hands, feathers? If the sky is beautiful enough, then squat down and try to shoot at a low angle (the sky is also a good background at this time). As long as you observe more, there are surprises everywhere in ordinary life.

4. Try different perspectives:

1. 1 low angle shooting

Take pictures of the baby. Maybe you will unconsciously take photos from your own height, and the photos you see always lack visual appeal. Try to squat down and shoot, or feel dull? Why not try kneeling? Looking at the problem from another angle may be different. ?

At one time, children liked this game of climbing the door as fast as Spider-Man. At this time, you can use the door frame to make a picture frame composition and shoot at a low angle. When composing a composition, don't forget to put the envious expression of onlookers into the picture to add interest to the picture.

Want to take a funny and exaggerated picture of your big belly? The belly painting technology in the studio is out of date. Try changing the shooting angle. With the navel as the center, mother can shoot from top to bottom with the wide-angle end. Pay attention, be sure to show some feet, and compare the little feet below with the big belly to achieve an exaggerated visual effect.

5. Pictures with plots are more interesting.

Happiness in life is everywhere, just a pair of eyes to find it.

To record a child's growth, it is not necessary to blindly pursue the picture effect, but the emotion is the most important.

Putting interesting pictures together is an interesting little story.

What is recorded here is the daily scene that every family has. However, our children are growing up and time can't go back. Let's record these ordinary and happy lives with a camera.
