Japanese fathers became popular by taking pictures of babies. It turns out that his method of taking pictures is so simple.

When a family goes out to play, no matter how troublesome the journey is, the photos of friends circle must look good when they come back. However, every time I hand over the right to take pictures to my pig teammates, the painting styles of myself and Eva are mostly like this:

No, in order to take good-looking photos for everyone, we summed up several of his favorite skills. Even if the pig teammates around him saw it, they could learn it quickly, and they could take good-looking photos of you and Wa in three minutes!

Most dads can't take good photos, mainly because they don't pay attention to composition … ...

Symmetrical composition

In fact, if you don't know how to compose a picture, you can take a picture with a symmetrical composition method like Noriyuki.

First, choose a satisfactory scene, keep the shooting scene symmetrical left and right or up and down, and then let the baby live in the midline position. Then click, and the photo will be harmonious and quiet.

Diagonal composition

If the baby is placed in the diagonal position of the shooting picture, the sense of visual extension and movement of the whole picture will be further strengthened. In this way, even ordinary running, jumping or walking movements can make the baby look full of vitality!

Jiugongge composition

If you still can't make up your mind about composition, you can also directly open the nine squares in the mobile phone camera, and then put the focus of the shooting picture (that is, wife and children) near any of the four intersections.

Like this:

what do you think? Do these two photos look harmonious?

Large area blank space

In addition to these classic composition methods, Canon also likes to use large-area blank space method. The so-called blank space means that the picture should not be too "full". Therefore, we need to eliminate messy elements (such as irrelevant tourists) and ensure that the elements taken are as single as possible, so that the photos can be concise and clean.

In Noriyuki's photos, the sky and the sea are his most commonly used empty scenes. When they become the background of children's shooting, they can instantly convey a sense of happiness that "children still have a lot of room for growth".

If you want to take good-looking photos, you should not only pay attention to the composition, but also choose the shooting angle. According to different situations and artistic conception, different shooting angles are needed.

On the same level as children.

Like some warm moments, we need to abandon the consistent perspective of adults, bend down like Ji Zhi, keep the same level of sight as children, and then capture their every move instantly with a horizontal angle. Only in this way can we better feel the world in the eyes of children.

Shoot up

Sometimes, although Dianzhi squatted down, he didn't use the horizontal angle just now.

For example, when he meets a puddle on the side of the road, he will immediately squat down and pat the baby playing in the direction of the puddle. Soon, this ordinary puddle turned into a mirror, showing us another clever boy from Shui Ying.

Back shot

Many dads always like to take positive photos, but they can't take them well. In fact, it may be easier to get started by walking in the back. However, when shooting on the back, it is best to refer to Noriyuki, choose a clean and clutter-free scene, and then put the baby in the lower third of the picture, so as to highlight the focus of the picture and ensure that the photo is infectious.

You see, if you put the baby in the middle of the picture, it is inevitable that you can't take the feeling in the photo.

Side shot

If you think the baby's side face is particularly beautiful, you can't shoot it from the front. But if you can find a clean background and take the outline of the child's face on the side, the romantic spots of literature and art can be done in minutes!

When there is a sunset, we can also shoot two children watching the sea on the back (the position between the back and the side) like a classic. Although we can't see the child's expression when shooting from this angle, with the orange sea in the distance, we can be more related to the child's perspective and deepen the sense of space.

Backlight shooting

If we are lucky enough to see the sunset or sunrise, we can also try shooting against the light. Because the color temperature is warmer and the light is softer at this time, it will add a lot of color to your photo.

Just like this morning, the children's cycling photos were taken by Noriyuki standing on the side of the road a little far away from the children, squatting on the ground and facing the morning sun. Isn't the long shadow on the ground intriguing?

background

Since we want to take portraits, the choice of background can not be ignored. However, pig teammates like to choose messy scenes and scenes of a large number of tourists as the background ... In fact, empty pictures are beautiful and durable, such as the right picture.

However, if there are many tourists in the scenic spot, or you can't find a good background, you can also squat down and take pictures of your baby with the sky as the background, so you can also take clean and refreshing photos.

Of course, outdoors, we still need to know more about Noriyuki, and take the common scenery in four seasons as the background of children, such as rape flowers in spring and maple trees in autumn ... By the way, rape flowers have just opened recently, so parents should not miss this natural photo background.

When children are in the background of nature, they can amplify their sense of vitality without extra skills.

In addition, you can also try to get children into the background, break the sense of balance in the picture and make the photo look "moving".

props

In addition to the background, various gadgets that can be seen everywhere in life have also made many "blockbusters" of Noriyuki.

For example, children's colorful umbrellas inadvertently lit up the picture:

The humble broom can be used as a witch's magic prop;

There are also small schoolbags, bicycles and so on. It can be used not only when traveling, but also in daily life. These practical props not only enrich the children's small world, but also make a lot of contributions to good memories.

Children's childhood is very short, and their growth should be recorded in time. Today, I have introduced so many photography skills, so hurry to find a sunny day and take Eva and her husband to take photos outdoors.

However, no amount of photography skills are actually practiced much more than usual. Of course, since we need pig teammates to take good-looking photos, mothers should not be stingy with their patience and praise! In this way, he will be more motivated to make a "blockbuster"!
