How to do children s photography in your life

The first one is the same pose, children are more active and lively, and it is difficult to guide them to always take pictures in the same pose. Then shoot the same pose in different places! It's okay to stand and laugh.

Try to take pictures of children in the same pose every month or places that you have been to in a year, and the main body can be in the center, which can be a big scene. After gathering the ** in this way, you will find that the picture is very good. No matter where you shoot it, it will look good.

There is also the same place, shooting different**. We have four distinct seasons in a year. The plants are different in the four seasons of the same spot.

Shooting different ** in the same place, the four seasons are separated, and the picture is completely different. The child's position can be fixed or not. Although there are only four ** in a year, the sense of ritual is really and praise.

The same theme can also be shot, such as plants and children, children shooting in the sea of flowers, or shooting on the grass, or shooting on the road, can be divided into themes, the gray and bright background, flowers and plants, etc., divided into a theme, one**It doesn't look like anything, but multi** looks very comfortable.

The same color will also make ** look good, which is not only used for children, but also when shooting other subjects. The consistency of the background color, or the consistency of the color of the clothes, or the consistency of the color of the props, can make the picture resonate to a certain extent. For example, if you are at the beach, the sea is blue, so you can also take a picture of the blue graffiti wall on the street in addition to the blue blue that surrounds the sea.

The blue lollipops eaten by children, or the blue jeans worn on their bodies, and the blue sky when shot up, are all blue themes.

You can also take one when you sleep, and there are a lot of ways to shoot when you sleep, such as eyelashes when you sleep. A lot of children have eyelash essence, so you can't go wrong with eyelash slapping. When sleeping, you can also take an overhead shot to incorporate the whole position.

The sleeping position of children is very funny and interesting, and the hair is also very soft when it is young, so there will be a lot of strange hairstyles when you wake up from sleep. Write these down and stick them on the wall at home. Using a variety of dislocations, the ** shot is also able and creative.

1. Lower your body.

Many people are used to shooting from their normal standing position, but most of the time, this will only show the same ordinary perspective as yours**. Lowering the angle to the level of the children will immediately bring you into their world, and the ** of the shot is closer to their real life.

2. Pay attention to the background.

Capturing children who are constantly running around means you need to pay special attention to the background. Backgrounds that are too messy can distract the viewer. Shooting with a wide aperture can blur the background as much as possible (but be careful with too shallow depth of field).

Finding a clean background wall can be helpful. Sometimes a few creative cuts can make a big difference.

3. Shoot the scene, not just the face.

A good portrait of a child is usually just a face, but sometimes it's a good idea to shoot the whole scene – show off their toys, or the pets that accompany them. Another option is to show a small detail that represents your child's activity – a paint-stained hand or a soccer ball hanging from a door.

When shooting the baby, you must let the baby have a sufficient sleep, and at the same time, the temperature of the shooting environment must be kept at a constant temperature, so that the baby will have a good state when shooting.

1. Seize the most perfect time: ** moment. Calendar sells.

What is Time? Time, also known as a "magic moment", is not an exact hour on a dial, but a few minutes before and after sunrise or sunset. The skies are softer and the colors are more vibrant than at other times of the day.

Such light will also play a huge role in your **, making your ** look more full.

2. Choose a simple scene.

Choosing a proper background is of course a very important link, and a background like the beach itself has a certain aesthetic appeal, and it also has a strong role in helping to shoot **. But you should also be careful when choosing a background, and don't let an overly beautiful background suppress the theme of the ** itself. At the same time, when choosing a background venue, you should also pay attention to avoid too dense crowds, so as not to weaken the attention of children.

In terms of shooting technique, use a wide aperture and try to get as close to the subject as possible. The result is absolutely amazing, and you'll find your little one sparkling in front of this simple backdrop.

3. Choose clothing that fits the background.

Now that you have a simple background, your child's clothes should also match the background as much as possible. Don't overdo it with too much color or decoration to avoid becoming another distraction. Under the backdrop of these simple things, the child's face and personality can become the biggest shining point in the **.

Pastel warm tones are generally the best choice, while accessories are kept to a minimum.

4. Show the true side of the child.

In traditional photography, the photographer would determine his subject before the opening comic began, and think about the scene and action to be filmed. However, this way of shooting is obviously not suitable for children. Children's nature makes them active and more open about their emotions.

Although many photographers complain about this and find it a great challenge to control these little ones, we can still make good use of this nature and "turn waste into treasure". As long as they are allowed to play in the scene you have chosen, and let them feel comfortable and relaxed, so that the best will show the most essential innocence. And this kind of relaxed nature is far better than those stiff children's photography.

5. Use props to focus your child's attention.

Children often have difficulty focusing on one thing for a long time, which may also be considered to be the biggest problem that photographers encounter in the process of shooting children's photography. The trick to solving this problem is to give them a prop. It could be their favorite toy or any other tool for children to play with.

In addition to making it easy to control their attention, adding props can also produce unexpected shooting effects. Especially when you choose a prop that fits the theme of the shoot very well, the whole picture will be more vivid and concrete. In addition, props can also stimulate the most innocent and essential expressions of children, which not only makes ** more interesting, but also a pleasant interaction and shooting experience between you and your child.

When shooting for children, it is not only necessary to capture them, but also to shoot from different shooting angles during the whole shooting process, and to continuously innovate in the process of shooting beams, so that more interesting pictures belonging to children can be captured more comprehensively.

Taking pictures is for the sake of recording, and the so-called children's photography is to take pictures of children. As babies grow up, there are a lot of fun and loving interactions that happen between them and their parents, and children's photography is all about documenting these moments. Parents can agree to pick up their phones at any time to take pictures, buy a camera to take pictures, or go to the children's photography store to take pictures on their children's birthdays.

1. Use light appropriatelyNo matter what kind of subject you shoot, there is no good or bad light, only the right or inappropriate light, and the same is true for children's lighting. For example, although the light brings a sense of flatness and lacks a sense of space, in children's photography that does not require a sense of space, there is no problem in shooting in the light. Side light, side backlight, and backlight can bring a sense of space and three-dimensionality, but if you blindly pursue the light angle and ignore the expressions and movements of the characters, it is also a contradiction.

Another example is the scattered light on a cloudy day, although it lacks directionality, but it can softly express details. It can be seen that the use of light needs to be determined according to the theme of the work, and the method of lighting that is most conducive to expressing the author's emotions and the characters should be selected according to the site conditions.

2. The high tone of the shadowAs a classic form of shadow tone, in children's photography, it is necessary to control most of the whole picture to be bright white, white, and light gray tones, which can give people a bright and permeating spike, fresh or bleak, pale feeling. The proportion of black and gray tones in the picture is very small, although the area is small, but often this part is easy to become the visual center of the source. High-profile** can be divided into two types: soft high-key and hard high-key.

The tonal gap on soft and high-key images is very small, and the layering of the subject can be delicately expressed, while the tonal level of hard high-key images is very small, and the bright white parts can be white to no detail. In the framing of high-profile character works, the bright white background or accompanying body is mostly used to form a large area of high-profile, and then according to the main part**. Generally, 1-2 stops are added to the average metering or **key metering**.

The steps for children's photography are as follows:

1. Capture: Children are more lively and active, and it is impossible for you to let him be in one place and listen to your command. Set the camera to burst mode, press the shutter a few times, and then select from multiple **.

Here we have to pay attention to the shutter speed, because it is better to capture the shutter speed below 1 250, otherwise it is virtual, you can't pick **.

2. Shooting angle: Most people choose to shoot their children from above, so that they can shoot their children taller. However, I like to shoot from above, or flat, no matter what angle you shoot a child, as long as the composition is concise, the child is naturally the best way to shoot.

Flat shooting angle, let the child concentrate on the convenience of our shooting, teasing is very important, pull a grass on the ground, let him see if there is anything in the morning, can he count it, so that his attention will be focused on what you just said, we have to hurry up and shoot.

Overhead shooting angle, for children's shooting, it is not difficult for us to shoot up, because small children will be lower than us, we just need to raise the camera and shoot downward. Guide the child to look at the camera, how the little flowers bloom, whether the watermelon is sweet or not, shoot instantly.

Light selection when shooting

We shot around 5:30 p.m., when the sun was slowly setting and the light was very soft. But in the choice of light, we have backlight and forward light.

Shun light is the light lens in one direction, for the light to be light. The color reproduction of the light shooting is high, and when compared with the backlight shooting, the picture is not soft and soft. When photographing people in the light, the characters will appear relatively flat.

You can ignore my shadow, because I left it on purpose. By adjusting the position of the shot slightly, you can avoid shadows.

Backlit shooting, the picture is soft, the light is more sufficient, the passage is envious of the contrast between the light and the backlight, and the next shots are all backlit shots selected by the file, a flower running on the lawn, free, full of love, and a beautiful childhood. Tips for shooting backlight, because if there is no reflector, the backlight surface is easy to black, so our metering mode selection - local metering.

Children's photography is different from adults, they have more of an active characteristic than adults. Posing for photos is not a good way to show the childlike joy of children. However, children's photography in general can be mastered in the following aspects:

Snapshot: Taking photos in daily life, different from photography in a photo studio, is usually in a place where children are playing or are familiar with it. At this time, the child's expression is relaxed and more realistic.

You can give your child some toys to assist in shooting, and try not to let your child pay too much attention to the camera. We can choose the shutter priority mode to raise the shutter speed as much as possible, generally set at 1 250s and above, and then adjust the aperture and ISO value according to the specific ** situation. Ensure that each ** is clearly and accurately focused on the child's body.

Attract children's attention: In daily shooting of children's photography, the photographer may rarely have a large number of foils, such as toys and landscapes to set off children, and at this time, it is necessary to guide children to show naturally in front of the camera. It is possible to simply greet the child, or throw out the question:

Do you think mom looks good? "Let the child look at the camera, and let the child react to the position of the camera by calling for guidance, so as to ensure that the child is facing the front in the frame.

The expression should be good and the eyes should be in place.

Making them laugh is king.
