Picture Perfect Shots of Your Kids
Snapping great photos of your kids can be tricky, and is likely to try your patience. Generally kids make for uncooperative models and tend to ignore most directions or do their utmost to assume unnatural poses.
The good news is that if you know what to do there are several ways that you can immediately start to snap better photos of your kids:
- Try to capture candid shots
Seeing as getting kids to pose for photos is notoriously difficult – don’t bother. Instead try to capture candid shots while they’re distracted and their attention is occupied on something else or another activity. In the long run, you’re likely to take much better photos that really portray them as they are.
- Get down to their eye level
Inexperienced photographers often make the mistake of standing and photographing kids – which gives a skewed perspective since your shot will be from your own eye level. Instead you should crouch down and put yourself at the children’s eye level, which will not only make your photos look better but make you look much more approachable.
- Don’t focus too much on the smile
Although smiling photos of your kids look great, they are far from the be all and end all. Instead, try to capture a variety of different natural expressions from frowns to grimaces, funny faces, and so on. By doing so you’ll be snapping photos that really show your child’s personality.
- Snap lots of photos and always be ready
When photographing children, you want to take as many photos as possible. It is safe to say that a lot of them may not turn out exactly as you want, but by snapping an array, you stand the best chance of capturing those quick magical moments that are pure gold. Be ready to take a photo at a moment’s notice, as you never know when a great opportunity will arise.
