One of the more difficult yet often the most popular and cutest subjects to photograph are kids. I have been looking for tips to master child portrait photography and I keep coming across a few of the same tips that I thought I would share with you:
- 1. Get down on the same level as the child when taking the photos. So if they are walking down the driveway crouch down or lie on the driveway this will get photos at their level as opposed to looking down on them.
- 2. It can often be quite arduous trying to get the children to look at the camera. So try and have their parents or other relatives behind the camera keeping them entertained so they look towards the camera. If you are the parent well you have a dual role then and I am sure you will have a lot of fun taking the photos.
- 3. Be patient. Set time aside as it can sometimes be tedious. Get loads of photos as you will get a mixture of expressions and photography poses. The unexpected ones are often the most adorable.
- 4. Get the kids to play games. They will have fun and then and smile and laugh naturally. It keeps them entertained and makes getting the photos much easier.
- 5. Make sure that there are no distracting objects in the background. Use backdrops to enhance the photo not distract from the main subject.
- 6. Children often look better in plain clothes. Prints and patterns on children’s clothing can often be very distracting in a photo.
I hope you agree that taking photos of kids can be fun and I am sure once we know and master some of the tricks of the trade and with a little practice we will be able to get some fantastic shots.
