Guiding photography skills of children's photography guide

Children's photography guide, the work of children's photo studio is particularly important. Although every child is different, we can learn to use these psychological characteristics of children according to their general psychological characteristics and guiding principles, and complete the shooting of children well through the existing guiding methods. The following are some guiding skills for children of different ages for the reference of studio staff.

1, full moon to day

Photos of the full moon are often taken at the baby's house. The mother is the most familiar person to the child, and the guide can let the baby's mother complete the guidance work with herself. 1-2-month-old children's sight distance is generally about 20 cm, which is too far or too close to see clearly. Guide children's eyes to things with bright colors or strong color contrast, such as brightly colored blow-molded toys, balloons, red handkerchiefs, etc. In addition, the baby at this stage is also sensitive to sound stimulation. You can gently shake toys that can make sounds, such as smashing sticks, to attract your baby's attention. The way to get a smile is to say some greetings and compliments to the baby, and then the baby will give you a sweet smile. If the guide communicates with the child "enthusiastically", the baby will still talk to you! If you need to move your baby, you need to protect your baby with the right posture. The toys bitten by the baby should be disinfected to avoid cross infection. Babies of this age are generally disgusted with changing clothes, so try to avoid changing too many clothes. Because the 100-day-old baby has poor adaptability, it is easy to get tired in this new environment. Tour guides and photographers should cooperate closely to complete the shooting task quickly.

2. Children from 100 days to 6 months old

Most of the babies at this stage are strangers, so it is relatively easy to guide them. The corner of the mouth is the baby's nerve sensitive area. Touch the baby's mouth with feathers to get a smiling expression. However, some parents don't like this way very much. They think it is unsanitary and afraid it will be bad for their children. Guides can make use of some toys that make sounds, such as fluffy puppies and toys with different hardness and smoothness, such as rubber chickens, baby toys, plush balls, hard plastic bells and so on. To tease the baby, at the same time, keep talking to the baby, praise the baby, make some faces and make the baby laugh. Children at this stage may sleep for a while at any time, but when they wake up, they become refreshed, so when the baby is particularly tired, let him have a rest first. During the day, parents, including grandparents, may come to the photo studio to take pictures of the baby, so that family members who are familiar with the baby can take turns to guide and avoid too many people watching. Children who have just turned 100 days can lie on their heads or sit up for a short time, but it won't last long. Remind parents of some guiding safety matters and pay attention to safety protection at any time.

Babies aged 3 years, 6-9 months

Babies of this age can simply imitate pronunciation, understand their names, throw away toys and get them again, and change hands with toys. Listen to the characters, take the toys and listen to the children's songs. From crawling to crawling, I can roll continuously, and by 9 months, I can basically play with toys with both hands and hit each other. At this stage, the baby's guidance is mainly toys that make sounds, such as jumping frogs and hand dolls, which can surprise the baby and easily attract the baby's attention. In addition, you can also sing and dance with the singer, chat with the baby to praise the baby, attract and stimulate the baby's enthusiasm, and play the children's favorite music and nursery rhymes in the recording studio to let the baby relax quickly. Children at this stage can basically sit and shoot, but the time will not be too long. They need a soft and safe environment and can support their heads for a long time in prone position.

Children aged 4.9 months to 1 year.

During this period, the baby will transition from learning to stand to being able to walk a few steps independently and climb over obstacles. You can kick the ball with your feet, hold the bed or jump on the sofa. Be able to nod and clap your hands with cheerful music. The tour guide can play hide-and-seek with the baby, suddenly run out from behind the photographer, hit the photographer on the head with an inflatable hammer, or make faces, walk like a gorilla and other funny performances will make the baby very happy. Tour guides should learn to use simple oral skills, such as learning the sounds of some animals or holding noisy props in their hands. When the position is right, the sudden sound will attract the child to turn his little face around, and then the photographer should take this moment in time. Or you can throw him a toy and throw another one after you get it. When you throw the third one to him, he may throw one back. Once there is interaction, the shooting mood will be easily mobilized. At this stage, the baby has a sense of self and others, and some babies may not be familiar with it. They can shoot life clothes under the guidance of their parents first, and then gradually be replaced by guides. Other children don't need a guide. Our guide can do auxiliary work. It is acceptable for parents to help their children with things, props, toilet paper, change clothes and arrange activities for their children's bodies, but parents should be reminded of some safety matters during shooting. In addition, it should be noted that children at this stage don't like many people to watch, so don't arrange more than two parents to guide them in the shed.

5. 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.

6. 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 7.6 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 things that children are interested in and praise and encourage them while chatting. 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.

8. 10 to 16 years old children

Generally speaking, boys of this age rarely go to the photo studio to take pictures, while girls are still very common. At this time, the photographer must take photos with a relaxed and ordinary attitude, and can directly guide them with an adult tone. Don't play superficial games and funny tricks to guide younger children to use them, otherwise they will think you are naive and even show an indifferent expression. The best way to treat them is to respect them and praise them in a way that makes them feel that they are communicating on an equal footing. Understand their interests and specialties in the conversation, and then start a topic or competitive game from this. Older children can directly explain our shooting intention and the artistic effect that the photos want to express. Let children participate in the creation, which will stimulate children's imagination and expressiveness. Children of this age try not to arrange parents to enter the shed when shooting. Many children will not let go because their parents are present.

Problem baby handling:

In the actual guidance process, we often encounter some uncooperative babies. For example, some children are particularly willful, want everything, and roll around if they can't satisfy their wishes. The shopping guide can give all the toys that the baby is interested in first, and don't let the parents be angry with the baby. Play with the child for a while, and then arrange games with the baby when the baby's enthusiasm is mobilized. When the baby is happy, he will naturally listen. Some babies are introverted, no matter how funny the tour guide is, they can't laugh. At this time, it is necessary to communicate with parents to understand the baby's usual hobbies. Generally speaking, it is more effective to treat this kind of baby with a few tricks, and the baby's curiosity will help the guide to complete the guidance task.

Other babies are so naughty and active that they can hardly be quiet. At this time, the guide should patiently play with the baby for a while. When the baby desperately wants a toy, in exchange, let the baby obey the guide's command. Other children are more dependent on their parents. At this time, the parents of the baby can be involved in the guidance, and the guide will do some auxiliary work. Some children listened to the teasing of adults for a while, and if they were not interested, they bowed their heads and played. Or when we are shy and silent, we can suddenly stop, deliberately ignore him, or pay attention to and talk about something that the baby is interested in to attract him. At this time, children may come to please you or look up at the situation, and some funny expressions will appear on their faces. Photographers can pay attention to snap shots.
