How to take pictures of children without losing the artistic photos of the studio?

After giving birth to a baby, mothers' mobile phones are full of photos of the baby. Although they are not professional photographers, they all have a professional photography heart.

Just finished unloading, full moon birthday, sleeping peacefully, playing with dad? Although 1000 photos were taken, many times the photos were still the effect of "buyer show".

Today, I will share some tips for taking pictures of my baby with my mothers, so that they can also freeze the wonderful time that belongs to their babies at home.

Looking back at the photos taken by mothers, there should be many ugly headshots, most of which have similar expressions, even taking pictures, and even some instant photos that are a little burnt. Although not the most perfect, the moments captured by these mothers are the growth footprints that babies can't miss.

You know, taking pictures of the baby is actually the realism of life. Love and fun are the first, and the skill of retouching is the second.

Newborns or one-year-old babies are not familiar with cameras and will not be concave. At this time, it is necessary to capture it with your heart!

Mothers can take advantage of the baby's vitality, take a group of headshots or local close-up photos, and then combine these photos in a nine-square grid or splicing way, so that these seemingly scattered photos have a warm temperature instantly.

Older babies pose at will, and splicing together is a moving picture of walking, which is lively and smart.

When the baby is asleep, it is the best time for mothers to play. Put the baby in a solid background and take sweet sleep photos, saving time and effort.

If you can add a little creativity, add some scenes with some props and make a bird's eye view, you can make a fairy-tale photo.

For example, a Japanese mother took a group of lovely and fresh artistic photos of her baby with props such as sheets and dolls at home.

Of course, it is also important to take pictures anytime and anywhere! The baby's crying and wronged little expression sometimes looks more lovely. If the instantaneous snapshot is well grasped, all other objective conditions are secondary!

Before, one of our traveling mothers liked this kind of shooting art very much. Although the expressions of the two babies in the photo are particularly wronged, there are stories at first glance, which people can't help but associate.

Imagine, one day when the baby grows up, will they still remember the wonderful story that happened on this day?

In addition to taking a few photos for the baby every day, mothers sometimes go to the photo studio to customize a set of photos for the baby.

Seriously, the price of art photos is still quite expensive, often thousands of dollars. Sometimes a baby certificate photo has to go straight to three digits, which makes people feel distressed.

If the baby is in a bad mood or is too tired to shoot, no matter how comfortable the environment is, no matter how professional the photographer is, he can't shoot a happy feeling.

Here, I will teach you a few simple tricks. Mothers can take a group of artistic photos of their babies at home by simply preparing some props. Shooting anytime and anywhere has both a sense of life and an artistic atmosphere.

Plenty of light

Choose a sunny day, near a bright window. The natural light at the right angle can't be bad.

Under the green appearance and soft and bright light, the little baby is like a gentle and lovely little princess, and even her back is so poetic.

Some professional photographers can also use reflectors, which can greatly increase the brightness in the case of insufficient light.

It doesn't matter if there is no reflector, you can use white cardboard and white foam board instead.

Simple background

The solid color background can highlight the characters more, and it also has a sense of high class, which can better present the center position of the baby. The most direct artistic photo-taking method is to let the baby lean against the white wall at home or lie on the solid color sheets. Mothers just need to find an angle to shoot.

At home, the best shooting place is the bed! Rolling and jumping? Let the baby play casually! If you want to take pictures of your baby jumping on the bed, you must pay attention to the speed of capturing and continuous shooting! It may take more than a dozen times to feel "jumping".

When shooting in bed, try to be concise, and it is best to choose solid colors for the sheets. Fancy patterns and patterns are easy to appear chaotic.

Reduce the viewing angle

Because there is a big gap between the baby's height and the adult's height, when taking pictures, mothers must lower their perspective, squat down or get closer to the baby in order to interact with the baby. Only in this way can the baby trust you enough to show the best shooting state.

This is a masterpiece made by mother and baby when they are lying on the ground ~

Use props

Taking pictures, props are indispensable. Different props will reflect different photography styles. Mothers can think about the shooting theme in advance and buy some corresponding props according to the theme. Themed clothes, Nordic-style mirrors, toy picture books at home, and even hiking mats are all good choices.

In fact, taking pictures is an art, just like painting, there are certain skills in framing, color matching and proportion distribution. Knowing these skills, coupled with continuous practice the day after tomorrow, mothers will gradually learn the knowledge of framing, layout and lighting.

Although the process of taking pictures is not easy, you may have taken dozens of pictures, and only a few of them are satisfied in the end. But isn't it a very happy thing to record the baby's growth bit by bit?
