How to take good pictures of children with family themes?

First, snapshots are usually instantaneous.

Whether you are playing at home or going out, you'd better have your camera ready at any time. If possible, we can adjust the general shooting parameters in advance, such as shooting mode, sensitivity and white balance. Usually, such a series of settings ensure that we can enter the shooting state as soon as possible when it is worth shooting.

Second, record rich expressions.

Children's expressions are the richest, because they have no scruples and don't think about when to cry and when to laugh. Innocence, loveliness and moodiness are their greatest characteristics. Therefore, recording these most authentic and natural expressions with a camera is something that every photographer likes to do.

The child's expression is very infectious. When shooting, you may wish to capture more interesting expressions and leave more memories for your children when they grow up. It is worth mentioning that when taking pictures of children, don't blindly pursue their smiling faces, and occasional crying is also very cute.

Third, cherish the lovely figure of childhood.

In addition to expressing their rich expressions, children's diverse body language can also be photographed, including their conscious gestures and unconscious body movements.

At the same time, photographers can also shape their petite limbs when children are sleeping, highlight their lovely bodies, and organize sketches to enhance interest.

Fourth, play-freeze the wonderful moments when playing.

Children's nature is fun, and children who play hard are the most relaxed and can best reflect their natural and vivid side. At the same time, it is also an excellent opportunity for photographers to capture these wonderful moments.

When shooting, it is recommended to use telephoto lens to shoot from a distance, so as not to interfere with children's games, and try to increase the shutter speed, turn on the continuous shooting function, and capture as many rich and wonderful pictures as possible.

The focal length is 38mm/ aperture F8/ shutter speed 1/400s/ sensitivity 400.

Have patience and perseverance to wait for the child to enter the best state.

Sixth, feelings with parents.

Parents' love for their children is selfless and can be revealed inadvertently at any time, and this kind of love inadvertently revealed is the best theme. Mother's love is an eternal shooting theme. When shooting, the natural expressions and movements between mother and son are captured, which is enough to impress every audience. In addition, a father's love for his children is usually implicit and deep. Because of this, the moment when my father's warmth is revealed is rare.

It is suggested that when shooting, whether you want to show deep fatherly love or warm maternal love, you should use softer light, because soft light can make the picture look warmer and more infectious.

7. Record the warm pictures when you are with your family and friends.

Children's childhood is very colorful, and they grow up with the company and care of many people. In the process of growing up, they will have many good friends and partners. With them, they will show an extremely natural state, and their lively and lovely temperament will be well stimulated. Taking photos with family or friends can leave a mark on the baby's growth and has commemorative value.

Matters needing attention when shooting with friends

When shooting flowers full of childlike interest between playmates, because the subject has changed from one person to two or more people, the photographer should pay attention to mobilizing everyone's emotions, and should also observe some virtual shadows and close their eyes in time.

Sometimes it may be that one person has a good expression and others are not in the mood. Therefore, photographers need to have enough patience and keen eyes to grasp the most suitable time to shoot.
