Neonatal photography skills

1, the shooting time should be controlled first. The ideal shooting time for newborns is less than two weeks, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient shooting time to shoot the desired picture. Every baby's schedule will be different, but most babies will be in a better state in the morning.

2, to ensure the safety of the baby, safety first, when shooting, all movements and postures are from easy to difficult according to the baby's own situation. In fact, many difficult poses can't be successful at one time, and many times many photos are needed to synthesize them.

3, to make the baby happy, first of all, the indoor temperature before shooting is about 26 degrees, and the room temperature tester is essential. Pay attention to adjust the room temperature. Too hot and too cold will affect the baby's mood. Prepare some sounds that newborns like to listen to, such as heartbeat and some rustling sounds, which will make the baby feel more secure. Finally, make sure that the baby can finish shooting without being hungry. If the baby just finished eating milk and can't shoot, it is easy to spit milk.

4, light, professional photographers will not use flash when shooting baby. If there is natural light, it is better to use soft light and reflector if there is no natural light. After all, the baby's eyes are not fully developed and cannot stimulate the baby.

5, outdoor shooting, if the weather permits, you can consider outdoor shooting, bring some simple props, and open up new areas, which is incomparable to indoor shooting.

6. Bring Dabao to play together. Shooting with Dabao will make the photos look sweeter and warmer, and the baby will prefer the company of his brother and sister, which can enhance feelings and witness the growth together.

7, small details, when shooting a newborn baby, don't forget to shoot some unique and lovely small details of the baby, such as small mouth, eyelashes, ears, toes, small hands, navel, hair, shoulders, birthmarks, small nose and so on. These little details will change with the baby's growth, and we can keep these memories.
