Children's Day was approaching. It was a festival full of joy and innocence, and it was also the best time to take wonderful photos for the children. Do you want to leave a good childhood memory for your child? Then pick up your camera or phone and start taking pictures of the children. When filming, many ingenious techniques could be used. For example, let the children wear clothes with unique colors so that they could stand out more in the picture; the colors of the picture should be simple, and try to control them to within three colors to avoid too many colors causing the picture to be messy; if there are horizontal lines in the scene, they should be kept horizontal and not slanted, but some extended lines can be used reasonably to increase the depth of the picture; When there are relatively uniform elements or colors in the shooting environment, you can adjust the shooting angle to shoot the background into the picture, forming a layered effect to increase the level and three-dimensional effect of the photo. If you are not good at composition, you may wish to use the method of central composition. You can also try to place the child in the center of the picture to highlight the main body. They could also capture the children's most natural and adorable moments through some interesting interactions. Tempting them with delicious food, playing hide-and-seek with children, bringing toys or pets to increase interaction elements, guiding children to observe the things around them, such as finding ants, watching butterflies, or racing with children, these could easily capture children's bright smiles. Of course, taking photos of his back was also a good choice. Whether it was a parent or a photography enthusiast, on this June 1 Children's Day, use the camera to record the innocence and happiness of the children and create a unique childhood memory for them. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Here are some tips for children's holiday photography: 1. ** Shooting angle **: It is easy to use an overhead angle when shooting children standing up, which may cause the photo to be "headshot","top-heavy", and "out of proportion". You can try to shoot from the child's point of view, squat down or lower the lens. This will make the child's proportion in the picture more balanced, better capture the child's interaction with the surrounding environment, and improve the effect of the photo. 2. ** Capture *: It is not easy to guide children to cooperate with the shooting, and the effect is difficult to achieve. It would be very rewarding to capture images and actions from an observation perspective. Under the premise of ensuring safety, let the child play freely without excessive verbal intervention. Capture the child's interaction with the surrounding elements (such as running or focusing on doing things). 3. ** Long-distance shooting **: Shoot from a distance, so that the proportion of the character in the picture is smaller. This way, they could avoid shooting interference, use small proportions of characters to set off the characteristics of children, highlight the theme, and enhance the atmosphere of the scene. For example, Japanese photographer Yuria liked to keep a certain distance when taking photos of his children to show the interaction between the child and the environment. A small proportion could also make the child more cute, and the picture was left blank to make the photo breathe. 4. ** Creating dreamlike effects **: - ** Small depth of field **: Use a large aperture to create a strong blurring effect, highlight the main body and make the background feel dreamy (many cell phone portrait modes can be simulated). - ** Using the Foreground **: Arrange interesting prospects such as flowers, plants, and toys in the picture. It can not only "point out the topic" but also make the picture not monotonous. The blurred prospects can highlight the dreamy feeling. - ** reasonable exposure **: When shooting children, you should pursue positive, cute, and warm effects. You must avoid under-exposure. When shooting and post-editing, you can overexpose appropriately. Enough brightness can enhance the dreamy feeling. - ** Color matching **: Choose warm colors and shoot in sunny weather with soft colors. Warm and fresh colors can easily create a dreamy feeling. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Here are some key points about children's photography: ** I. Pre-Shooting preparations ** 1. ** In terms of modeling ** - Children, especially young children, had poor patience. They had to be in good condition before filming. For example, they had to sleep well, eat well, and play well so that they could cooperate better during filming. If they were to shoot at a venue like a hotel, they could take advantage of their curiosity when they first arrived at the new venue. 2. ** As for the photography team ** - Photographers who filmed children's latin dance needed to have a certain level of skill and experience. Because the child was very active, he had to interact with the child while taking pictures. You can prepare some props, such as chairs, small tables, etc., so that the child can sit there and play by himself, so that the photographer can take photos with peace of mind. He could also tease the children appropriately according to their personalities and make them show appropriate expressions and actions. - For the group photo, if the child was not in a good condition, the younger child could be held by the parents. If the child did not like to smile, the photographer could guide everyone to keep their upper body movements unchanged and jump slightly on the spot. This might make the child smile. ** 2. Techniques in Shooting ** 1. ** Screen Selection ** - If you were shooting still photos, such as 0 - 2 year old children who were learning to dance (although it was rare to learn to dance at this age, but from a child's perspective), 24mm or 35mm fixed-focus lenses were more suitable. They provided a wider angle of view and a shorter focal distance, covering a variety of topics. Large focal lenses were great assistants in dim indoor environments, but they had to make sure that the shutter speed was faster than the safety shutter speed. They didn't need to adjust to a high USB setting to take clear and natural photos. - For 2 - 6 year old children who were more active in the field of dance, when shooting their movements while running, jumping or playing, high-mobility zoom lenses like the EF24 - 70mm f/2.8L II USM and EF70 - 200mm f/2.8L IS II USM were more useful. The wide-angle lens could be used to capture the interaction between the child and the environment, and the long-angle lens could be used to magnify their interesting expressions. The telephoto lens could also provide enough space for the child to play, making it easy to track movements and capture real moments. In addition, fixed-focus lenses such as the EF50mm f/1.2L USM and EF85mm f/1.2L II USM were also good choices for portraits, allowing the photographer to maintain a suitable distance from the child. The large aperture also allowed the subject to stand out from the background. 2. ** Shooting Mode and Setting ** - When shooting 2 - 6 year old active children's latin dance moves, turn on the camera's AF mode, and use the AF tracking function to make the correct camera settings in advance, such as using the automatic ISO and 1/250 second shutter speed or higher to ensure that the movements are clearly captured. - When the light was right in front of the subject, the camera's light measurement mode was set to spot measurement so that the child's face could be targeted for light measurement. 3. ** Shooting angle ** - To take a picture from the child's line of sight, most parents would take a picture of their child from above with the ground as the background. The background of the photo taken from the child's line of sight was more interesting, and it could also record the interaction between the child and the environment. 4. ** Lighting (if it is indoors or in a specific scene)** - A fresnel lens similar to FC -500B could be used to adjust the warm light and condense a circular background light. Then, he used a permanent light to add an imaging lens to illuminate the main character. Finally, flashing lights and purple colored paper were added to supplement the ambient light to create a unique effect. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

There were many kinds of lights suitable for children's photography. In terms of flash, children aged 2 - 10 could use a flash plus a soft box for shooting. For example, the Nex TL-400C could achieve 400W flash power, suitable for shooting naughty children. However, for newborns, they were more sensitive to light. They could not use a flash to shine directly. It was generally recommended to soften the light and jump to make the light uniform through the diffuse reflection of the light.
