A few tips for taking more creative children's photography

Children's photography is different from other kinds of portrait photography, photographers will face the following problems:

1. There is no way to directly control the child's actions

2. The children will challenge your camera shutter speed and focus ability

Maybe one of the children agreed you stood in the camera is good, but the best is not necessarily true can take a good photo, the child is changeful, a variety of uncontrollable, so the project of hard perfect does not help, we really want to do from the show, let the children show the true self.

To understand the child's dream Decided to dress and image design

We can create a child dream world! Ask the child's favorite scene and clothing, in advance to prepare a surprise for them. Many children want to grow up, that will make it clear that the hope is to become an astronaut or a scientist, and even lawyers and nurses, doctors and so on. Children have their own imagination world, and are unique. Leave the studio fixed layout, using the new dress to environment, which pictures go further than ever before.

Create shadow effects of theater

The light is everything for photography. After decided to children's clothing and ground, we should consider the problem in the outdoor light is natural light, choose the sun slanted light will make the picture becomes more diverse, with a reflector light is also easier. If shooting indoors, warm color light is preferred, you can also add Christmas lights, lanterns, such as props, props lighting also can bring surprise! Anyway, it is important to note that the light environment must not hurt the child's eyes, so don't recommend using flash.

Unrestricted Capture action moment

Sometimes really have no way to control the children act, scene, as expected, always has been no way to realize. But change the idea, actually we don't need rules with the kids, don't need to control their pose. Ran to the reservation outside the location, the photographer also can follow together. For children without limit, pictures will be better.

Keep shooting quality in such a case, what you need to be flexible and decided to moments of Octavia, best to call assistant to help you with reflector or lamps and lanterns. In addition you can also communicate with the children in the process of playing, directly and ask them to make the specified action, interesting to play the children won't refuse.

With the appropriate background show emotion

The child's smile is always the center of the picture, when a child turned, however, we also can undertake emotional expression through the background of the picture. Under this theme, often with long distance shooting, after obtaining the shallow depth of field at the same time also to be able to make the picture to produce "far see" feeling.

Breaking into their joy Shared with the world

To make the child's nature, the most important thing is not to disturb them to play, on the contrary but to allow themselves into their world, to become part of it in the happy paradise. Photographs capture the real feelings that are because the photographer and the models are no longer the same world. Many excellent portrait photographers have enough enthusiasm and ability to model into the right mood, but we are hard to control the child's mood, are really about, and also cannot get their photos of nature. So we need to enter the world of children.
