What are the skills for taking pictures of children?

Children's photography is different from adult photography. They are more active than adults. Posing is not a good way to show children's childlike interest. However, in general, children's photography can be mastered in the following aspects:

Snapshot: Taking pictures in daily life is different from taking pictures in a photo studio, usually in a place where children play or are familiar with it. At this time, the child looks relaxed and behaves more realistically. You can give your child some toys to assist in shooting, and try not to let your child care too much about the camera. We can choose the shutter priority mode to increase the shutter speed as much as possible, which is generally set to 1/250s or above, and then adjust the aperture and ISO value according to the specific exposure situation. Make sure that every photo is clearly and accurately focused on the child.

Attract children's attention: When shooting children's photos every day, photographers may rarely have a lot of foil, such as toys and scenery to set off children. At this time, it is necessary to guide the children to behave naturally in front of the camera. You can simply say hello to your child, or throw a question: "Do you think mom is good-looking?" Let the child look at the camera, and let the child respond to the position of the camera by calling for guidance to ensure that the child is a positive-oriented shape in the picture.

Try to use a fixed-focus lens to make the background blurred and messy. This method can make the subject focus on the child more accurately.
