When taking pictures of children, will the flash have an effect on children?

First of all, children's photography itself is one of the most difficult types of photography. Because children are still young and their movements are uncertain, most of us will choose to take pictures of them before choosing.

However, China has many taboos. For example, children can't take pictures when they sleep. There is a saying that children will have nightmares because of fear, especially the elderly. But one thing must be noted, that is, the use of flash. From a medical point of view, the baby's visual nervous system is not fully developed from birth to three years old, and strong light will have a negative impact on the development of the eye disease system. Therefore, when shooting, try to avoid using flash, and it is best to shoot with natural light. Some stupid automatic cameras will automatically activate the flash when the light is poor, so be sure to pay attention. Older children can shoot with a flash when necessary, but it is also best to fill the light with reflection or add a soft light in front of the flash.
