How about flashless photography for children?

Children's photography generally does not use flash, but it is the photographer's skill to fill the light.

Children's photography is not as simple as imagined. As a photographer, you need to have some basic lighting skills to take ideal photos.

First, backlight shooting: used to create a strong tone atmosphere, need to fill the light, pay attention to whether it can form a vision.

1, the backlight is the main light: you can put the lamp at a slightly higher position behind the child and illuminate it at 45 degrees downward, which is suitable for displaying the child's skin.

2. Backlight as auxiliary light: Adding backlight outline or key rendering can enhance the three-dimensional sense and spatial expression. The auxiliary light can be distributed in the form of reverse side light.

Second, double lights: this kind of light is conducive to expressing the three-dimensional sense of space:

1, left and right clamping light: the two lights are evenly distributed at 45 degrees. This light is soft and symmetrical, and there is no heavy shadow.

2. Up and down lights: two lights respectively. The light in the upper and lower positions is bright and bright, and the skin color is beautiful. Generally, the light above is the main light.

3, the front is flat: the tone is soft, which is conducive to the tender performance of the baby's skin, but the three-dimensional effect will not be too strong. In short, it starts with highlighting the baby's tender skin.

Third, high-profile: the light quality should be mainly soft scattered light, the light ratio should not be too large, and children should not be too close to the background. Keep a low profile and avoid letting children wear dark clothes. The main light is still soft light, but the range should be controlled and the integrity of the dark tone should not be destroyed. Appropriately increasing the profile light can also separate the child from the back.
