How to take a good-looking photo of a child?

If you want to take beautiful photos for your children, you need to pay attention to the following six questions:

1, accurate exposure. Shooting children is different from other people. When we set three interactive exposure parameters: shutter, aperture and sensitivity, shutter speed is the first factor to consider. The reason why we take pictures of children is that the shutter speed is too low. Therefore, in order to adjust the shutter value conveniently, it is recommended to use TV (shutter priority) mode for shooting. When shooting children, the shutter speed should not be lower than1100s, and the aperture value is automatically given by the camera. The lower the sensitivity value, the better. Of course, if the light is insufficient, it is necessary to increase the sensitivity appropriately.

2. Focus accurately. Taking pictures of children and focusing are also issues that must be considered. Due to the active nature of children, many interesting scenes are fleeting. Therefore, the focusing method should be selected according to the specific situation. If you are shooting a child in motion, you should choose continuous focusing mode to ensure that the camera can focus on the subject at any time to avoid inaccurate focusing. When shooting a static child, you can choose the single focus mode and choose the focus on the child's eyes. After focusing, lock the focus, and then move the camera for composition. Of course, if the depth of field is small, the composition will be out of focus after locking the focus, which must be paid attention to.

3. Control the depth of field. Different depth of field has different effects. In order to highlight children and blur the background, we can use a smaller depth of field. The small scene is deeply influenced by the interaction of three factors: large aperture+long focal length+short distance. Of course, in order to strengthen the effect of small depth of field and keep children away from the background, the effect of blurring will be more obvious. In order to explain the unforgettable environment and background without losing focus, we should choose deep depth of field to shoot. The scene is deeply influenced by the interaction of small aperture+short focal length+long distance.

4. Selection of background. A good photo usually has a lot to do with the background you choose when shooting. Therefore, when shooting, we should not only pay attention to the child's expression, but also pay attention to the changes of the background at any time, so that the background can set off the characters as much as possible and fully show the child's personality.

5. Shooting time. Taking pictures of children lies in grasping their natural expressions. Therefore, in the process of shooting, try not to specify children to pose. Such photos will make people look pretentious. We can let children choose their favorite movements, or just let them play freely and look for opportunities to capture their purest expressions when shooting. The photos taken in this way will be very childlike and interesting.

6. Shooting angle. In the choice of shooting angle, we don't have to find a way to keep the head-up angle with the child. You can try shooting from different angles, such as overhead shooting, overhead shooting and so on. And the photos taken are rich and varied, which makes them more interesting.

The above are my personal suggestions for taking pictures of children, and I hope it will help everyone. Please criticize and correct the shortcomings.
