How to take pictures of newborns to look better?

Your baby will grow up every day. Even if you have time together every day, you can see amazing growth and changes compared with the photos taken a week ago or a month ago. Let's shoot many different baby facial expressions every day and make an interesting photo album.

First, make the exposure brighter.

As the name implies, the baby's skin looks a little red. To create a clear skin feel, use slightly brighter exposure compensation. For babies, not only the skin, but also the clothes are often white or pale pink or blue. However, if the baby wears such bright clothes, the automatic mode of the camera will judge that the whole is bright and tend to try to shoot darker colors. Therefore, by setting the exposure compensation to about

1/2 to 2/3+ edges can show the whiteness of clothes and the permeability of skin. While looking at the shot picture, adjust the brightness according to your own preferences.

Second, it is suggested to use telephoto instead of wide angle.

I want to shoot the baby very close, but it may appear on my head at wide angle, or the background is rough.

In this case, set the zoom to telephoto lens instead of.

50mm (the lens for taking images at close range), and adjust the distance from the baby so that you can capture the range you want to capture. Of course, a single-focus lens can also be used. Taking close-ups will blur and simplify the background, and you can take pictures of leading the baby. When shooting in an environment where the background is easy to blur, the key is to focus your eyes close to the lens. While watching the LCD screen, it is simple and convenient to use the camera's face recognition function and touch shutter function to shoot.

Third, we adjust the height of the camera to the same height as the baby's field of vision.

When shooting a baby as the protagonist, don't just pay attention to the cuteness of the baby, but also pay attention to the background. If you just look down, the background is always like a piece of paper. Therefore, please keep the camera at the same height as the baby's eyes, so that you can see the room atmosphere in the background and the scenery that the baby is watching.

Fourth, let's look at the baby's eyes instead of taking pictures through the LCD screen.

When taking pictures of the baby, did you always look at the baby with the LCD screen and camera? Even if you are a professional photographer, the baby doesn't know that he will laugh when he sees the camera lens. In this case, once you decide to shoot a rough area, please take your eyes off the camera and look directly at your baby. Babies look better at people's eyes and faces than at the camera lens. Make sure that the baby does not leave the screen on the camera screen, and press the shutter when talking to the baby directly with facial expressions and words. You should be able to take more vivid photos than before!

Fifth, let's show the size of the baby.

The easiest way to express the cuteness and smallness of babies is to compare them with adults. You can ask your mother or father to hold your finger, or wrap it in your hand ... If you just take close-ups with your hands and feet together, the background will be beautiful, and only that part will be emphasized. If you take a photo with a plush toy, or often take a photo with the same place and thing, it will be an interesting photo as a growth record.

6. Let's shoot with soft light.

Even if it is brighter, if you take pictures in direct sunlight, the light will be stronger and the shadow will be stronger. We suggest that soft light comes in from the curtains next to bright windows, emphasizing the softness of shadows. The stronger the direct light, the stronger the shadow. In order to show your baby's softness, avoid strong shadows. Instead of facing away from the window, we also recommend the position where the light from the window enters from the side and the light on a bright cloudy day. If it is a backlit scene, adjust the exposure compensation to the+side to make the baby shoot brighter. It becomes softer and softer by brightening the background. You can take many lovely and soft photos of your baby, as well as your baby's petite body and innocent facial expressions. This will be an album of growth records and good memories!
