Baby photo-taking skills

What are the baby's photography skills? I believe many people want to know, right? The following is the information I have compiled for you about the baby's photo-taking skills. Welcome to read!

Baby photography skills 1. Snap shot: capture natural expressions and actions.

Capture equals natural expression. Almost all baby photos have this pure quality. Babies take pictures in their daily life without realizing the existence of cameras. But when children are 4-5 years old, when the camera lens is aimed at them, their reaction is extremely sensitive, and their natural curiosity is often replaced by artificial gestures and expressions. In children's photos, this kind of posturing is really everywhere. Only by pressing the shutter and taking away the camera will the child return to the naive nature.

Most children don't pose as required. Specifying a child to pose in a certain position always leads to little interest. Some older children, eager to take pictures, often go too far because they want to suit you as much as possible. Other children may not be interested in posing, but just want to finish it quickly. If you want to correct the child's above reaction, the result is generally worse. Therefore, in addition to taking pictures of models, it is forbidden to guide children to pose. We photographers only need to take a snapshot.

Second, group photos: prefer a series of group photos.

Both adult photography and children photography are popular in group photography series. We can also use it properly in baby photography. For example, when taking pictures of children who are old enough to take pictures, you can choose some activities that children like, such as listening to stories before going to bed, playing in the swimming pool and so on. Then, the idea is to show the activity from beginning to end with a few photos. This is the way to take a series of group photos. You can also use this method if you only need to take a single photo at the end of the activity.

The first photo shows the scene, the other photos show the progress of the activity, and the last photo shows the end of the activity. The first photo should show the children (or a group of children) and the materials used in their main toys or games in detail, and point out the place where the activity is held. The background must be simple and coordinated with the shooting activities. The next photo can be a close-up, especially a close-up of facial expressions. Don't leave the camera outside when the activity reaches its climax. The last photo shows the end of the activity and completes the story. It was finally made into an album. Whether it's a baby or a mother. I'm sure you like it very much. Photographers have a great sense of accomplishment.

Third, reality: record the real baby's life

Truth is the pursuit of every photographer. Only real works. Produce * * * and emotions. When taking pictures of the baby, it also needs to be true. Everything a child does except sleep is a new adventure in countless childhood experiences. Please pay attention to the colorful activities in children's daily life, which may be suitable for taking a series of photos. Such a scene should be shown immediately, because accidental discoveries are often difficult to recall afterwards.

Most children will repeat their favorite activities, which is the time to take pictures. However, you don't have to limit the opportunity to take pictures to scenes that will appear repeatedly. Gifts can be used to arouse children's interest, stimulate their active nature as much as possible and create new opportunities. For example, for a girl who likes art, if you give her a set of paintings, there will be a scene where a little painter is taking pictures for you. He can also send a pumpkin to a boy, and maybe take a group of photos of carving Christmas pumpkin lanterns.

Fourth, rewards: Appropriate rewards will make your baby like taking pictures more.

Appropriate rewards will make babies like taking pictures more, and photographers can choose some small gifts. Give it to the baby before and after taking pictures. Make all the preparations for shooting before giving gifts. Children are most excited when they see gifts for the first time, which is a good time to take a full set of photos. The second and third use of gifts will reduce children's interest. Although photos can be taken at this time, the child's excitement is far lower than the reaction when he first sees the gift.

Some scenes are so fleeting that you can't take all the photos you want. Therefore, you must try to recreate the same scene again. You send birthday cakes to the same child three times in three days, and you can be a great success every time. The cream on the cake rarely loses its appeal!

Verb (short for verb) Participate: Let the camera participate in the children's games.

Children are naturally fond of games. If the camera is allowed to "participate" in children's games, then in children's minds, taking pictures is associated with playing. After that, older children will be welcome to take pictures. However, you should also try to get children's further cooperation. Then taking pictures will be a very pleasant thing. In this way, the child will take a good cooperative attitude when shooting again next time. Of course, if you plan to sell or publish these photos, it is necessary to make some arrangements with your child's parents or guardians, including signing a model consent form.

6. Assistant: Ask the assistant to cooperate with the work.

Said so many attention points and skills. Finally, photographers who work hard to take pictures certainly don't have so much time to interact with children or attract their attention, so photographer assistants are particularly important. At the stage of your official shooting, the assistant should stand next to you, preferably a little closer. If two people are far apart and both are moving, it becomes a distraction. When the child feels bored or uncomfortable, you can ask the assistant to make gestures behind his back, such as imitating the clown's movements, picking up something and pretending to knock your head. In this way, sometimes a happy expression will be aroused. However, excessive funny and eccentric actions should be used with caution; Only when the child is completely unresponsive and you feel desperate can you use it.
