Children photography baby

Take nature as the general law

There is a misunderstanding in taking pictures of children in China, that is, I like to take pictures of children's faces when they are laughing, or order them to make some gestures that I think are good, thinking that only in this way can we take good pictures. In fact, children are naive and lively. If you let him make some gestures or just smile like an adult, there will be no fun in childhood and no commemorative value.

(Toddlers are the truest)

Choose the best time to photograph your child's mental state.

It is said that children's faces are like the weather in June, with uncertain rain or shine and great mood swings. There is no telling when they will be happy or cry. But after long-term observation, we can find that there is always a time in a day when they are most excited and happy. This time period is basically from 9: 00 am to 1 1 pm.

This is because the light is soft at this time and the baby will feel very comfortable. In addition, at this time, the baby can just wake up, or just eat, full of energy. So choosing this time to shoot can not only capture the baby's most natural laughter, but also think that the light at this time is warm and suitable for rendering the warmth of the picture.

The way you cry is so cute. The most important thing is that this photo is true.

When shooting children's photography, don't interfere with their natural expressions, but be prepared to capture their most natural and authentic side. Even if the picture needs it, it should be indirectly guided, so that children can do it from the heart and naturally as much as possible, in order to shoot the most valuable and beautiful "childhood memories."

Banana bait

Food is also children's favorite, and it can also arouse children's interest. It's just that the younger the child, the uglier it will be. Sometimes children get food all over their faces, even on their clothes. At this time, you can wipe your baby's face properly, but it is quite cute for your baby to eat recklessly. You can shoot some of these themes appropriately to enrich your baby's childhood memories.

It seems unsightly to eat, but it is the most real and lovely.

Use pets as shooting props

Pets are not only children's playmates, but also "props" in photos. The addition of pets can relieve the baby's nervousness when taking pictures, so that the baby can cooperate with the photographer more naturally and relaxed.

Therefore, with this excellent "prop", not only the photographer can finish shooting more easily, but also the memory photos of children full of childlike interest can become more colorful.

Matters needing attention in taking photos with pets

The pet's hair may contain some bacteria, so it is necessary to bathe the pet before shooting to ensure the baby's health.

Pets have pointed nails, so it's not good to scratch your baby carelessly.
