In the creative world of photography, often rely on, can control what we do. We can choose our light, our position and the subjects of photography, our goals, and camera settings. Also, we can also control the mood and attitude of the person before us. When it comes to children, but all that control comes out of the window! The smallest, little person controls how the shot will go, and it is our job as a photographer to successfully capture memorable babyImages. Here are seven tips for safely photographing children and their changing moods and poses.
1) closely
One child has but something space bubble "that adults often. free to complete the course in the world of the child, basically Feel. We do not want to scare or upset because of this, your child may change drastically, success will be filming! However, our perspective is very different from thatChild. Since a large camera lens can show its face to be scary, try shooting from a distance and zoom This creates a smaller depth of field and can do more to focus on the child on the picture to be. If you are close to be able to get enough to keep the baby, try a wide angle lens with the kind of "see" the world from the eyes of the child.
2) Our Nuances
At this age, everything a child does, is specific and with a purpose. Note that every move he or shemakes. The smallest details sometimes make for the best pictures. Use your ninja-like reflexes and hone into these details. For example, the baby toes or the length of the cilia of the child as he or she is looking away, when the mother grabs the child's or Dad's finger, or if he or she is in the middle of a yawn . Be subtle, while you're shooting. A baby is very small and the details are still small.
3) Keep Comfy
Even under normal circumstances, the fire in one,we can control the variables that surround us. With a child, does not happen. To promote a happy child and happy, keep the atmosphere comfortable and familiar. Shooting in the family home or child's bedroom would be a good idea. A study can work well, such as, but make sure it is a toy. If the parents bring home some familiar elements, like a blanket or a stuffed animal. He loves to take pictures of things the child will be easier to make beautiful pictures!Note: things children like to sleep, eat, swim, crawl, yawning, staring ... not too hard!
4) Bring on "Burst"
Although children can not human beings are great, the precious moments can often be too fast. To make sure you catch these little gems, hold the camera in "burst" or continuous shooting. In a sequence of images, you can allow flexibility in the choice of pictures and shoot later, and you can do for creative designOptions. For example, the child at the beginning, middle and end of a yawn. This is something that could remind parents happy!
5) Treatment is Key
Parents may argue about this, but always change your baby pictures. Children, like adults, have imperfections. There may be some redness of the cheeks (like most children), small scratches, some small Booger nose (you know who you are!), And so on. These images do not look you see on FlickrPerfect for themselves. Smoothing the images using an airbrush with Photoshop or just a bit '. Parents may want to build pictures of natural child, but your portfolio with some very nice photos. Offer to give the family a choice of both.
6) Experiment with paint
Depending on what the family wants to try black and white, color photo lines. While you do not want baby pictures in black and white, this would provide some interesting contrast for photos andalso helps to "modify" the imperfections from the images without having to go deep and the treatment itself (see previous tip, sure!). Families also tend to like black and white images of the child, because look memorable, seem to capture a moment in time, and certainly accentuate the details of the child. You want to make sure that these features pop, especially the eyes! This may also highlight some other means, such as pictures or diapers, where there is a strong color contrast. Color photos looklarge as well - so be sure to dress your child keep it simple and basic. Do not want to distract attention from the most important thing in the picture - the child!
7) The use of natural light and indirect
Most photographers know that the use of natural light looks better on a person. So it goes with a child. If you are shooting during the day, near a window or move to places where there is plenty of natural light. Another note flashes: frighten children. If the child flashweep. A camera lens Big Scary enough, and if you like a ninja can not use Flash. Just do not. Flash also flattened detail in an image. If you need the Flash-DO, try a technique flash bounce: bounce flash something else in the room to illuminate the subject. Or use a flash diffuser (this should not frighten the child, or). If you do not have the ability to bounce flash and there is either little or no natural light, try opening andalso increase your ISO. You can play with the settings a bit ', but make sure the child looks as natural as possible and baby-fied. Yes, I said thanks baby.
