How to shoot a good children s photo, what details need to be paid attention to

Be loving and patient.

Love and patience are the basis of good children, children's emotions and behaviors are passive, so that their attention is difficult to last, is difficult to grasp the subject, we can hardly imagine the children before the age of three to "pose". Children's senses are keen and direct, and if you want to take good children's photographs, you must really like children and communicate with them with your heart. Children's expressions are ever-changing, and they are always innocent in their gestures, and they are natural performers.

For family children**, most should be taken in a snap format.

Grasp taboos and taboos.

One thing that must be noted is the use of flash, from a medical point of view, the baby's visual nervous system is not fully developed from birth to three years old, and bright light will adversely affect the development of the immune system of the eyes. Therefore, when shooting, try to avoid using flash, it is best to shoot with natural light, and some point-and-shoot automatic cameras will automatically activate the flash when the light is poor, so be sure to pay attention. For older children, you can shoot with a flash if necessary, but it's also best to fill in the light with a reflection or add a diffuser in front of the flash.

Variable angles and forms.

Children record the experience of growing up, which should be multi-dimensional and multi-directional. The "angle" here has two meanings, one is the angle of view, there should be at least three angles when shooting, shoot from a head-up angle with children, stand higher and shoot from above, squat down or even lie down and shoot up, as much as possible to shoot the vertical angle change. It is also necessary to change the shooting distance and the focal length of the lens, and in addition to full-body or large body portraits, it is also necessary to have close-ups and long shots, and in addition to using a medium and telephoto lens, you can also use a wide-angle lens.

It's like a movie is more "life" when there are more changes in scenes.

In addition, the angle of children's expressions should also be rich. Most parents shoot children with "smiling" faces, which is monotonous and blunt. Children's expressions are rich, and to record his growth, it is necessary to record his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, which is life.

Shoot laughing, crying, angry, silent, dazed, and weird. Most of the laughing ** are very ordinary, and a strange ** may remind the baby of a "story" when he grows up.

A child's nature is innocence and happiness. They are full of the most primitive and innocent emotions and behaviors of human beings. When we take pictures of children, we can not only leave memories of their growth, but also allow us to relive many of the joys of childhood.

To alleviate the increasingly heavy pressure of work and life, our experts in children's photography have accumulated experience over the years and have some experience, and we write this article to make all children in the world healthy and happy. This is just a matter of filming in family life. 1. The basic knowledge that children need to know Before shooting children, we need to understand some basic knowledge of photography, of course, most of the friends who read this article must have a certain foundation in photography, such as how to determine the correct amount and reasonable composition, etc., I don't need to say more.

However, I would like to highlight a few photography techniques that have a lot to do with photographing children. The first is the effect of aperture and shutter on the shooting effect, such as a large aperture that can make the depth of field shallower, and a high shutter speed that can "freeze" the movement. The second is the proper use and control of flash, we should understand the role of different flash settings such as forced flash and slow flash sync, and when you need to use flash for shooting and when you absolutely can't.

In addition, manual white balance, manual focus, and the use of hyperfocal length are also available. For more information on these basics of photography, you can refer to previous articles or other photography books, and we will explain them with specific examples. 2. Preparation of equipment for shooting children "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", to shoot children, first of all, of course, you must have a camera.

Most homes in cities now have traditional cameras, and their very low shooting costs and "instant viewing" feature make them ideal for children's photography compared to traditional cameras. Let's briefly talk about what kind of digital camera you should choose to shoot children. If you have enough money and fever, a DSLR digital camera is of course the best choice, in the lens equipment to fully consider the DSLR digital camera focal length conversion factor, a large aperture head (mounted on the DSLR digital becomes the standard medium focus portrait head) and an ultra-wide angle zoom head, should be able to fit most shooting requirements.

Of course, most friends will still choose consumer-grade digital camera products, shooting children recommend everyone to buy a quasi-professional product with strong manual function, lens aperture and zoom ratio, and time lag and continuous shooting performance are also very important parameters. Of course, to shoot good children, the choice of equipment is only one aspect, the human factor is decisive, we should not blindly be greedy for innovation, as long as you are attentive, even if you are a thousand-dollar product, you can shoot good children's photography.

To shoot perfectly composed**, you need to pay attention to the following issues:

1. Fill the picture with models.

Portrait photography is about people, so don't be afraid to zoom in! Remember, closing the focus isn't the same as just taking a shot of a person's face. You can make the picture a little more "compact" and take a close-up shot of a model sitting on a chair or leaning against a tree.

2. Keep your eyes in the upper third.

This is the most natural way to arrange the space of the portrait. Unless you're deliberately creating tension, try not to go against this principle. There is also an exception when the model is in the lower third of the ** with the whole body.

3. Use composition to draw attention to the model.

Instead of trying to eliminate the bad environment, it is better to make good use of it. Doorways, arches, windows, and terraces can all play a role in highlighting the subject and reinforcing the visual experience.

4. Create textures.

Again, if you can't eliminate distracting backgrounds, use them well. Keep the subject farther away from the background and use Aperture Priority mode (f 4) to blur the background away from a shallow depth of field to create an artistic texture. This eliminates the need to remove the interesting stuff from the frame and allows the model to stand out from the background.

5. Make use of lines.

Brick walls are the perfect backdrop for portrait photography. The lines on the wall add a lot of interest, but they also distract from the subject. Remember that any "line" that extends out of the frame and points to the subject is very powerful.

6. Change the shooting angle.

Sometimes to eliminate distractions, all that is required is to simply change the angle of the camera. In order to get the best perspective, try to change the angle of the camera and the model. By moving a little left or right, high or low, you can completely block out that distracting branch or telephone pole.

When you start paying attention to background details, sales for your portrait photography are guaranteed, make your models stand out, and add something interesting to the composition.
