2. You need to pay attention to your smile during the shooting, when shooting, the main photographer needs to control everyone's facial expressions, you can tell some jokes or say something funny, try to use the way of capturing when shooting, there is no need to wait until everyone is ready, so the effect may be better.

3. The background is very important when taking family photos, don't leave too much white space in the front, try to shoot the Spring Festival background in the background in the back, and try to dress as much as possible.

If you want to take a good family photo, first of all, the lens should not be too far away, and not too close, the distance of the lens must be grasped just right, and the selected focal length should also be very suitable, so that all the people in the family photo can be photographed into the lens, and it is very clear.

You only need to let the elders sit in front and the children stand behind the elders, and then act intimately, so that you can take a beautiful family photo.

The angle should be good, because a good angle can make people look good, and secondly, the background is also very important, and you should choose some backs that are more suitable for family photos, so that family photos can look better.

First of all, let the whole family be together, let the parents sit on the stool in the middle, the children are next to them, and the adults are in the back, and the family is full of smiles, and the best photos are taken.

1. Pose arrangement: Generally, when taking pictures, the elders in the family are in the middle of the picture, and then arranged in order on both sides. Then you can play on your own, and you can put on whatever shape you like!

You can make the picture look a little more serious, or you can make the picture look a little more lively.

2. Makeup and clothing: Because there are more people, everyone's dress is also different. However, under normal circumstances, the color of the clothes of the elderly and children in the family should be as bright as possible, and if there are people whose clothes are similar in color, then when taking pictures, the two should not be next to each other.

Of course, you can also take a family photo and put on a good-looking light makeup!

3. The choice of photo angle: family portraits are generally taken indoors, and often indoor photography is the most difficult to take. Therefore, it is recommended to choose to shoot when the focus is relatively obvious such as everyone raising a glass or blowing a lamp to make a wish, and you also need to pay attention to people's facial expressions when shooting!

First, the background of the family photo should be concise and elegant.

Family portrait**, the main body has many people, and it should occupy a large space, so you must pay attention to the conciseness and generosity of the background when shooting.

At the same time, the color of the background is taboo and strong. If the color is too bright and complex, it will make the ** look cluttered and even noisy.

In addition, since the family photo is taken on the occasion of the Spring Festival, it is best to bring the festive elements of the Spring Festival. For example, Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, lanterns, etc.

Second, the light for taking the family photo should be even.

Take a family photo, everyone is the main body and must be taken care of. So make sure that the shooting light is even. The taboo side is in the bright light.

The other side is in the shadows. In this way, it is difficult to obtain a balanced **; You can't use an overhead light source either. Top account.

Let the light be uneven, resulting in a poor situation where the top side is bright and the bottom side is dark.

If you're shooting a family photo outdoors**, try to choose a time with soft light and avoid taking photos of the whole family in strong light at noon. Good fortune.

Family photo shoots, what we pay attention to is actually a happy and happy, generally many people will take family photos at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year, because the family members are back for the New Year, talking and laughing, chatting, and the whole family is happy; Then step on the spring light and breeze, and then freeze the excitement of "home" here.

1. The family can run forward naturally from afar, and jump together when they are close, so the ** shooting is very joyful!

2. Choose one person (the smallest face!) Stand at the front, and then someone else pokes their heads out from the side.

3. The group photo of each standing is quite imposing, so that (male and female) pig's feet stand in the middle a little before the test (you can take a series of Oh!) ）

4. Sorted by height, the sorting of 243 not only allows everyone to show up, but also has a sense of hierarchy.

5. This pose is very natural and ordinary, but it is easy to shoot the effect of deep affection (suitable for male members of the family).

6. Choose a large aperture and focus on the closest position at the same time, and you will get a shallow depth of field effect. People who are farther away are blurry, but it will be fun to photograph.

7. Shoot with the whole body, pay attention to the posture corresponding to each other, and pay attention to all the people showing up when shooting.

Indoor shooting points: clear and warm

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, eating a reunion dinner is naturally an indispensable process, whether we choose to eat in a private room in a hotel or at home, there is a lack of light for shooting, especially when eating at home, the light source is often relatively single, at this time we need to adjust the sensitivity of the camera to ensure the clarity of the picture.

For DSLR cameras, it is no problem to set the sensitivity to around ISO1600, while for card cameras, it is best to control the sensitivity within ISO800, which can ensure that the picture is clean and clear to the greatest extent.

Outdoor shooting tips: Soft and small apertures

In addition to taking family portraits indoors, outdoor is also a common place for us to shoot. Unlike indoors, the light environment outdoors is generally much better, so we can choose to shoot with a lower sensitivity to get a higher image quality.

People's expressions in bright light are often unnatural, and the intensity of light outdoors varies greatly, unlike the relatively soft light indoors. Often in the middle of the day, when the light is strong, the expressions of the characters will become unnatural, and we should try to avoid this situation. Generally speaking, the best time to shoot outdoors is in the morning when the light is not strong, and in the afternoon when the sun is down, when the light is relatively soft and the light ratio is not very large.

When there are a large number of people, the small aperture can ensure that the front and back are clear.

In terms of camera settings, the author recommends that you better shrink the aperture to around f8. Because family portraits can have a lot of people together, it's common to stand in multiple rows, and a smaller aperture has a larger depth of field to ensure that the characters in the front and back rows are in focus.

With the help of a tripod: no one is missing

Since it's a family photo, of course, no one in the family is missing, but who will take it? In this case, we usually choose to use a tripod to assist with the shooting. The advantage of a tripod is not only that it can hold our camera in place, but it also avoids the shaking caused by handheld shooting, making the picture more stable.
