How to guide children's expressions when taking pictures of them?

Children from one and a half to two years old.

Babies of this age like to imitate the actions of adults and eat with spoons. By the time I was one and a half years old, I could answer simple questions, speak sentences of 3-5 words and understand the meaning of adults' words and actions. Opening your mouth indicates personal needs and interest in animals. When I was two years old, I would say more than two nursery rhymes, ask "What's this" and like listening to stories. I can wear my own shoes and wipe my hands with a towel. When guiding, you can give him some toy blocks, buckets and shovels to play with sand, inflatable animals, cars, plush toys and so on. The guide can make use of the characteristics that the baby likes to imitate at this stage, do some demonstration performances and interact with the children. Or you can exchange all kinds of small toys that your baby is interested in for letting your baby stand or sit in the shooting range. Most of the babies at this stage can walk, but they are not stable enough and flexible enough. At the same time, they also need to pay attention to the child's center of gravity to avoid accidents.

Children aged three to five

Three-year-old children already know the language, can understand the words of adults, can say jokes, and even express the language with actions. Curious, like to imitate adults, such as feeding dolls and putting them to sleep. At this stage, the baby's self-awareness is already very strong, and he likes to express himself, hoping to be respected and praised. A tour guide should treat the baby as an adult from the age of the child. Don't give orders when guiding, try to mobilize your baby's expressive force by playing with him. Four-year-old children are no longer easy to coax, and they are not very cooperative at ordinary times. They are always against each other and like to show themselves. You can give your baby some toys, such as dolls and bears You can personify the shooting environment and the props dolls in the hands of children, so that children can naturally do some actions and performances. In addition, when playing games with your baby, you can pretend to make a mistake to make your baby laugh. You can also let your baby tell stories and teach us to play some games, which can arouse your baby's enthusiasm.

Children aged 6 to 10

Children of this age have entered school. They feel that when they grow up, they are often embarrassed and talk as seriously as adults. Therefore, it is necessary to communicate with parents before shooting, understand children's preferences and design the content of the conversation according to children's characteristics. Tell them what they like and find a common language. For example, if children like singing, talk to them about music. In short, we will talk about what children are interested in and praise and encourage them at the same time. Girls pay more attention to appearance and like beautiful clothes. Male photographers still have an advantage in shooting boys at this stage. Boys always have messy things in their pockets. If you can also take out what he is interested in, you will have a good impression on you. The male chauvinism of boys is very obvious at this stage. Use something they are really interested in, such as magazines, alarm clocks, sailing models, guns, simulated motorcycle models and so on. When communicating, be calm and amiable, and don't always use a coaxing tone.
