How to shoot children's photography

Children's photography steps are as follows:

1, snapshot: children are more lively and active. You can't have them in one place, at your command. Set the camera to continuous shooting mode, press the shutter several times, and then select from multiple pictures. Pay attention to the shutter speed here, because it is best to take a snapshot at a shutter speed below 1/250, otherwise it will be empty and you can't pick out the photo.

2, shooting angle: most people choose to shoot the child upside down, so that they can shoot the child higher. However, I like shooting from the top or plane. No matter what angle, as long as the composition is simple, children are naturally the best way to shoot.

Boxer, so that children can concentrate, convenient for us to shoot. Teasing is very important. Pull a grass in the ground, let him see if there is anything in the morning, can you count it, so that his attention will be focused on what you just said, and he must do it quickly.

From the perspective of taking pictures, it is not difficult for us to take pictures of children, because children will be lower than us. We just need to hold up the camera and take pictures. Guide the children to look at the camera, how to open the floret, whether the watermelon is sweet or not, and shoot it instantly.

Selection of light when shooting

Our shooting time was around 5: 30 in the evening, when the sun was slowly setting and the light was very soft. But in the choice of light, we have reverse light and smooth light.

Smoothing is to put the optical lens in one direction, which is smooth. The color reproduction of forward lighting is high. Compared with reverse lighting, the picture is not as soft as reverse lighting. When you photograph people in the light, they will look flat. You can ignore my shadow because I left it on purpose. You can avoid shadows by adjusting the shooting position slightly.

Backlight shooting, the picture is soft and the light is sufficient. Through the contrast between the front and back light shooting, the next shot is the back light shooting. A flower runs on the lawn with you, free and full of love. My childhood was really beautiful. Tips for shooting backlight, because there is no reflector, the backlight surface is easy to darken, so our metering mode is partial metering.
