How can pregnant women photos look better?

Nowadays, the pursuit of a better life by surrogate mothers makes them want to be pregnant in October and leave good memories, which also makes maternity photos gradually popular. However, for photographers, pregnant women photography is a unique theme, which is significantly different from other portrait photography. This can be shown in both technology and theme connotation, which needs photographers to study and grasp.

First, the performance plot of maternal photos

In maternity photos, it is a constant theme to show the happiness of pregnant mothers with warm pictures. But to make our works more exciting and richer in content, we need to express them through different plot connotations. In shooting, the common expression technique is centered on the pregnant mother's high abdomen, grasping the typical plot and adding connotation to the picture.

Capture the joyful expression of expectant mothers who are about to become mothers. For example, through the expectant mother touching her abdomen and staring with joyful eyes, it shows the communication between pregnant mother and the fetus in the abdomen. This is a diagnosis and interpretation of great motherhood, and it is necessary to show care for the fetus in the womb when shooting. For example: playing with the baby in the womb, prenatal education during pregnancy, etc.

In maternity photos, it is essential to conform to the prospective father. Among them, as a father's love for his wife and care for the fetus are the plots that photographers must grasp. For example, help carefully, kiss the baby through the expectant mother's stomach and listen to the baby's voice. There are many brothers and sisters taking pictures with their mothers, which is also an important theme for us. It is also an important plot to show their concern and expectation for their future brothers or sisters and their doubts about the pregnant mother's abdomen. For example, pointing to mom's belly and asking dad or mom, holding mom's belly to show love and so on.

In maternity photos, we must first reflect the pregnant taste of expectant mothers.

Second, the physical performance of maternal photos

Different from traditional wedding dresses and photo photos, maternity photos pay attention to the performance of pregnant women's physical characteristics, that is, the bulging abdomen. Experienced photographers will strengthen it through posture, angle and light. Generally speaking, whether sitting or standing, the outline of a pregnant woman's abdomen is most easily reflected. Therefore, it is best to let the pregnant mother face the camera sideways when shooting.

From the position of the plane, overlooking and looking up will affect the performance of the pregnant mother's abdomen. Therefore, if it is a normal sitting posture and standing posture, it is best to choose the posture of raising your head to shoot. When the pregnant mother has a certain tilt angle, she will only use the overlooking seat. In addition, when the picture is running, the outline of the pregnant mother's abdomen can be enhanced by light, and the outline can be decorated by side light or side backlight, which can attract more viewers' vision and achieve the purpose of highlighting the main performance. In addition, clothing will also affect the physical performance of pregnant mothers. Fabric with soft texture and strong drape will make the bulging abdomen more prominent. This kind of fabric texture is also suitable for showing the picture atmosphere of maternity photos. Women's bodies will change during pregnancy, especially the upper arms and buttocks will appear bloated, which is contrary to modern women's aesthetics. Although most customers don't care, it is also necessary to beautify and cover up the shooting. In addition to making up for shooting skills, we should also pay attention to the choice of clothing styles. Don't choose strapless and tight clothes, try to choose wide clothes to cover up defects and beautify your figure.

Heart-shaped gestures not only show the expectant mother's care for the baby in the womb, but also attract people's attention.

Third, the use of maternal photos

In the photography of pregnant women, in most cases, the aesthetic picture requirements of studio photography are followed, and the flat light is the main one. However, when necessary, background lights, contour lights or illumination lights are also used. Nowadays, more and more customers like the picture atmosphere formed by beautiful light and shadow, and often use stereoscopic light mainly with side light and side backlight. But pay attention to the control of light ratio. The light ratio below 1:3 is more suitable for taking maternity photos. It is also very important to control the light quality in pregnant women's photography. Soft light quality will also add a warm feeling to the picture.
