How to take pictures of children of different ages?

Children of different ages have completely different characteristics, so how to take pictures of children of different ages? Here are some tips to learn together!

Shoot a newborn baby.

When shooting newborns, prepare a clean blanket and a small pillow, which can be used to create a simple and practical shooting site. If newborns prefer to cry, I will use noise to calm them down as soon as possible.

Tip: Newborns are quiet and well-behaved, so we can create well. Although the baby doesn't have to take the first photo in the hospital for the first time, we'd better take it as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, it is best to finish the first shooting within two weeks after the baby is born, because as the baby comes to a strange environment, the baby's body begins to change rapidly, and it is possible to start to appear rash and crying.

Shooting newborns should know at least the following points:

The best shooting time is within 1 and 10 days after birth.

Generally speaking, newborn shooting refers to children within 10 days, and children within 10 days generally fall asleep for a long time, making it easier to pose. /kloc-children over 0/0 days have less sleep time and are easily woken up by posing.

10 days is the best time to shoot newborns. This posture can only be done with enough patience.

2. continuous shooting has made a moving picture.

It's difficult for parents to photograph the newborn, but we have a good way to fold the blanket into a circle under the child. In this way, the child will be comfortable to lie down, and his body will sink in, so that his legs will not be straight and his posture will be more beautiful.

In addition, you can use black flannel as the background to show your child's tender and smooth skin. When shooting, put the baby's feet cross so that the photo will not be exposed.

With the continuous shooting mode, you can shoot many lovely actions of children.

The newborn's hands and feet, little ass, are very cute. When shooting newborns, their expressions and movements are less. In order to avoid the monotony of photos, we can use more creativity when shooting, such as taking close-ups of children with macro lens, and focusing on the children's feet and little ass in the picture. You can also use some contrast methods to set off, such as comparing the big hands of adults with the small hands of children, and putting the baby on a huge chair to highlight the baby's petite.

Shoot a slightly older baby.

The baby's growth has changed a lot in the past few months, so in order to record the baby's growth trajectory, you must remember to pick up the camera at any time and never let go of every detail of the baby's growth.

When choosing shooting scenes and angles, we should pay attention to shooting small and iconic details, such as when the baby is kicking and sucking the bottle greedily, as well as pink meat hands, soft hair and chubby little face, and seeing the moment when the mother grins. As parents, we should not be lazy, because as time goes by, many details may gradually disappear or be blurred in your memory, so we should set aside some time to shoot every day, because it is impossible to reproduce all this.

This time may be the last stage when the baby can stay quietly in a certain place, so we must seize the opportunity. We can use some interesting props or backgrounds as a foil to shoot perfect creative pictures; You can also zoom in and take close-ups of your baby's various expressions; You can also step back a little or use a wide-angle lens to highlight the baby's smallness in the world. When shooting, we can achieve natural and interesting effects by teasing them, for example, playing hide-and-seek with them behind the camera or babbling with them. The only drawback at this stage is that the baby will be very excited during the filming. In order not to make the baby too tired, you must shoot quickly.

Put the baby's strange expressions together, and the photos are very interesting.

In order to achieve a better photo effect, you need to give full play to the director's ability to direct your baby's every move, such as using toys that can make sounds to attract your baby's attention and then capture their curious eyes; Using the baby's sensitivity to animal sounds, we can imitate the sound of this animal and interact with the baby, and then shoot quickly.

It is the stage of children's rebellious psychology. "You can't sit in a chair! Too dangerous! " "Don't touch the camera, it will break!" Babies in this period will be very unhappy after hearing such words, so it will be more conducive to shooting to encourage children and communicate with them in a euphemistic way during shooting.

Shooting preschool children

Preschool children are easy to get shot. They know how to tell the direction, participate in interaction, understand jokes, and more importantly, they know that shooting is also interesting. Therefore, it is necessary for you to make the shooting full of fun and let the children play happily in the process.

For preschool children, you can make them cooperate by doing multiple-choice questions, such as "Do you want me to play games with you or teach you to take pictures?" Then you can arrange a shooting scene according to the answer he chooses. You are the director, so how can you pose to achieve the goal of shooting smoothly?

Let preschool children play by themselves, and we can get a very natural photo just by taking a snapshot.

Wonderful snapshots: Sometimes, the best photos are often taken inadvertently, that is, there is no pre-arranged action or expression. So what do we do? It's actually quite simple. You just need to sit aside and be ready to take pictures at any time. Just press the shutter at once.

In order to get a happy effect, children can do some unconventional actions, such as jumping on the bed or playing in the bubble bath. When children are running around in the shade or watching ants move, capture this moment, serious, thoughtful, happy or angry. When a child is sleepy when looking at the first ray of sunshine outside the window, when he hobbles around in a blanket on a rainy day, this is an excellent opportunity to shoot. Finally, remember that children like to be praised. After filming, remember to share the happy results with the children.

Shoot adolescent children

Shooting adolescent children will give you a headache, because at this stage, their mood fluctuates greatly, sometimes they are shy, and sometimes they refuse to shoot because they are bored. Therefore, mothers should take appropriate measures to film the special stage between children and adults.

When shooting, you need to ask your child's opinion on the shooting site and clothing. Maybe he likes to take pictures somewhere in the bedroom, or he likes to take pictures of him striding on the skating rink. In short, it is most important to take photos that can show your unique style.

Some props can reflect that children are in adolescence from the side, such as sitting on a skateboard or holding a guitar, which is far better than sitting on a sofa.
