How to take a good family photo

Instead of calling the whole family to the photo studio to take a family photo, it is better to pick up the camera in your hand and take a warm photo for the whole family when the Spring Festival comes. This not only enhances the affection between family members, but also improves the photographer's shooting skills. Today, I will teach you a few tricks to make it easy for you to take a high-level and creative family photo. 1. Make full use of your props. Spring Festival is a traditional festival of China people, and it exudes a strong flavor of the year everywhere. Children wear traditional China Tang costumes for the holidays, and parents take happy Spring Festival couplets and blessings in their hands and take a happy family photo, which is perfect.

2. Use a tripod and adjust the white balance. When taking family photos indoors, you should pay attention to specific lighting colors. Different colors will lead to different color temperatures. It is suggested to use manual white balance to deal with the change of color temperature in order to get satisfactory photos. Of course, the significance of family photos lies in the fact that no one can be less. At this time, the application of tripod is essential. Cleverly jump the mode to the self-timer state, so that you can easily control the overall situation.

3. Spot metering ensures the accurate exposure of people. When the background light is darker than the position of the person, spot metering on the face of the person can ensure the accurate exposure of the subject.

4. Use the flash carefully. If you want to take a good family photo, try to avoid using flash. Because sometimes the human eye will have red eyes. What's more, setting a flash in the baby's eyes is very harmful to the child's eyes. At this time, turning off the flash, using a tripod or improving the ISO sensitivity can fully show the scene environment.

5. Pay attention to the details to avoid the messy environment. Taking a family photo at the dinner table is generally the first choice. When the family get together, the photographer is easily infected by the atmosphere at the scene and can't help but get excited. At this time, the shooting steps only need to be organized, especially to avoid objects such as beer bottles blocking the face of family members and consciously moving chaotic objects in the scene, which is the first thing that photographers should think of.

6. Unique perspective, unlimited imagination. Many times, shooting from another angle can bring us unlimited imagination and fun. You can choose the angle of looking up or down. You can also use Photoshop for unlimited creative expression.

7. Triangular composition When shooting too many family portraits, we can arrange the characters in several rows before and after, and the number of people in each row should not be the same. It is preferable to form a triangle or an inverted triangle. It looks more comfortable this way.

8. Is it necessary to check yourself when trying to take a snapshot and record a wonderful family photo in an instant? No, you can try to observe every warm moment and record the most natural and living side of your family.

In short, taking a family photo is not that simple. It must be a happy thing to learn some shooting skills and take a warm family photo in person.
