Five Skills of Children's Photography

Lead: Children are good subjects, but they are full of energy and like to run around, which is a challenge for shooting. Below I will share with you five children's photography skills. Let's have a look!

Photography skills of five children 1. Children's photography skills: keep children in the corner.

I find a good corner (I like brick walls best) very useful for shooting children who like to run around-let them have nowhere to run. Of course, this doesn't stop them from "running away" from your legs, but usually it gives me enough time to take pictures. When they run away, we will go back to the corner.

2. Children's photography skills: grounding gas

Keeping the children's feet off the ground will give you some time to shoot. But it's only 20 seconds at most. This is long enough for a child, so get ready for shooting in advance. When taking this photo, we put him on an old tire and temporarily left the ground. He was very satisfied with this thing and took some photos with me.

3. Children's photography skills: bring a toy.

Children are not interested in you, but they all like toys. If you can prepare some popular toys, you will be on your way.

4. Children's photography skills: Don't let parents appear too much.

I seldom take family photos. I only pay attention to small people. Have you noticed that in cartoons like Muppet Baby, although there are parents, they never show above their knees. The premise of this is that your shooting height is kept at the level of a child. I like this treatment, too. In some photos, only the mother's hand guiding the child to walk appears.

5. Children's photography skills: Shouting.

I like this shooting location very much. There is a fence on the left and a forest on the right, so there is not much room for free movement. I will let them run forward, call their names at the right time, and wait for the moment when the little guy looks back. Let them play by themselves, and when you feel the same, shout out their names. But you can't do too much. If you shout too much, they will ignore you. According to my experience, the best opportunity is often only once, and if you are lucky, there may be twice.
