How to shoot children photos

1) Capture the natural moment

Children in different age reactions to the lens will also vary, but usually have one thing in common is also don't like looking into a lens as often as you like. Is really looking forward them the lens is worth us to press the shutter? Since we want to record their life, should be more capture their natural moment. So you can try to capture it, or that they looked at the camera taking pictures is not deliberately, but wait for them to get along with his family, and some local interaction, or at home playing beside, capture their natural moment, won't make some photos of some hard or smile far-fetched.

2) Pay attention to the shooting angle, from the perspective of children to see the world.

Photo beautiful or not is usually and the background of the photo has a lot to do. So if the scene is beautiful, we can try to absorb more background, but many parents are also used to take a picture for children, for children than we also small, we stand will make pictures of the shooting Angle downward sloping, lead to photos most of the background into the ground, a waste of a beautiful background. So we should try to squat down down during production, the Angle of the lens and the kid's eyes into a level, so that they can absorb more background, make the background of the photo is more rich. Additionally we shoot sometimes even more can squat down bottom, up slightly, the camera photos come out feeling like children see adults and world view, the effect will be a surprise!

3) Do not let the child is too attractive to you, you should pay attention to the background of the shooting scene

If when shooting for children with only focus on the children, will make us ignore the background and the periphery of the scenery, cause should have taken things not taken; should not be taken then photographed. So when we shot should be around kids, for example, we are going to shoot children in the background of the Disneyland to play when it should be put it also photographed; Children have a trash can next to avoid don't take it, make photos can express you want to say the story and not be too messy.

4) Pay attention to the expression of the photo and give yourself the reason to take the photo

When I practice composition, I often ask myself: "what is the purpose of I shot this photo? ...... And so on, make oneself can clearly know the purpose of the shooting, which on the photo composition, depth of field, the moment of decision, pressing the shutter to clap a photo want to express.

5) Pay attention to the level of the camera Angle, reduce photographic tilt

Novice parents sometimes also less attention to be taken when the camera is level Angle, make the photo frame. If we are in between to the composition and the picture heeling is understandable, but if we put this kind of habit, each shot also inadvertently heeling around the camera is not so good. Composition is good all the time, the balance to make people see more comfortable, you also don't like watching TV when the picture is the heel?

6) Decided to the edge of the photo

In order to record the children, we can take advantage of more people with wide Angle the focal length of the scene of the whole body photos, so they can express their interaction with the environment. But when the whole body photos should be reserved for children of up and down or so more space, don't be too close to the edge of the picture, for children to avoid photos with oppressive feeling. Even if taken when put the kid's small part of the body in camera, photos can give a person feels unnatural?

7) Avoid blurry photographs

If we take photos of beautiful composition, children and sweet smile, but blurred pictures words then become vain (I through a lot....

8) Multi-purpose continuous shooting mode, don't mean much shutter button

Children are active, some lovely expression or action is not we can easily capture by press the shutter. So sometimes we often need to adopt continuous shooting mode, the more the shutter to capture the perfect moment. Like when they play, we can through the camera beside the slide viewer has been "tracking" the kid's movements (such as the long focal length lens is better), as far as possible increase the shutter speed, even under the same action in their number of pictures. Returned home from serial fast, just select one of the most can photos of emotions and save, delete and not beautiful, so will not waste storage space, and cannot miss chance to capture the perfect images.

Shoot the way

9) Toys into photography props and children while playing

Shooting is critical to the success of the children can solidify their childlike innocence of the moment, so in addition to exposure, composition, color and cooperate the elements such as atmosphere, at the end of the day, the most important is how to capture the children every subtle expression and action is the most important. What time it is a good time to capture their beautiful face? Of course is the time to play! So when taken to visit the site there is nothing special facilities for them to play, they will feel boring become is not willing to give us. We can bring their favorite toys or going to make a few small things while playing.
