How to shoot the parent-child shot

The methods of shooting parent-child scenes include: using natural photo frames, knowing continuous shooting, using vague foreground, guiding lovely children and changing angles.

1, make good use of natural photo frames.

Find a small park near home and find this kind of flower tree. The trick is to find a natural photo frame on the spot. As shown below, the tree trunks on the top, left and right sides of the photo form an irregular triangle, and the people in the triangle will make your parent-child photo more structured. The mother and son under the box will stand out more. Take one when you look at the children and one when you look at the camera. You can take multiple photos of the same scene.

You should know how to use continuous shooting.

Whether you take pictures with your mobile phone or camera, you should learn to use continuous shooting when taking pictures of parents and children. Wonderful expressions are fleeting, so we must seize them. If you shoot with a camera, before shooting, you should look through your own instructions to find continuous shooting and how to set it up. When shooting with a mobile phone, click on the eyes of the person in the middle of the screen, focus on the eyes, and then press and hold the shutter, which is continuous shooting.

3. Make good use of vague prospects.

When taking parent-child photos, you must learn to make good use of foreground blur, which can help you cover up sundries, make the photos look more layered and create a dreamy atmosphere. The foreground is blurred and easy to shoot. When shooting, you can cover the lens with leaves or petals on the scene and then focus on the eyes of distant children. Petals closer to the lens can form a beautiful blur.

4. Guide lovely children.

It is very important to guide children's movements and expressions. Besides taking pictures, the most important thing is to interact with children and play with them. Tell the children something interesting. Many times, we should be patient and calm enough to communicate with our children.

5. Change the angle.

Many parents like to stand and take pictures of their children. In fact, this is absolutely unacceptable. Children are short and have low vision, so when we shoot, the lens angle should be flush with children. It is best for parents to squat and pat so that their children can blend in well with the background. We can take busts or special portraits of children. Face close-ups, hand close-ups, and leg close-ups are all acceptable.
