Photographing children - quite a difficult exercise, because in addition to possession of photographic equipment also need to be able to communicate with children. You need to have patience and plodding.

The main feature is the need to found a time when the child is not specifically poses for photography, but just playing, communicating, or is even some his own business. Another important factor is some fear, uncertainty, shyness kid.

Our excursion into the world of photography with pictures of children start very young children.

Photo was taken indoors, the age of 7 months baby, he had just learned to sit. To obtain this image was used zoom. Focal length is about 150-180 mm. When photographing used flash, but it was aimed at the ceiling and a child covered by reflected light. Background image is active and it is necessary, it was necessary to dilute, to reduce its sharpness - with the aim of the diaphragm was exposed to 5.6, shutter speed - 1 / 60. When shooting for the baby's mother was a photographer, which distract his attention. As for me, the photo has gone, there is a feeling that at the moment a child communicates with you. Now the drawbacks - the flash light reflected from the ceiling, slightly stresses the small swelling under the eyes.

Tip - if you see that there is no direct communication with the child, he hesitate, nervous or afraid of the photographer, it is necessary that the child took his parents or the people whom he knows well and can play with them. The main task of the photographer would be caught and interesting moment to capture it using the camera.

When photographing babies bigger dreams, theatricalize any funny from your point of view, plot, such as when photographing a child in a hat. When photographing a baby is not used any podsvetok, flares, lighting - the natural from the window in the room on the left. Used zoom, aperture 5.6, focal length of the survey of 200 mm, which made it possible to make the main object of sharp shooting, and background - blurred. The natural side lighting gave the image animals movements. Of course, the picture did not work the first time since the baby strongly opposed to what it put on his hat. To help the photographer mom came, she entertained the children, and it is at the moment when the kid is watching its actions had been filming.

On this picture the child postarshe. He tries to paint colors. The result - to judge you. In this case, no distracting actions were not the kid - he was much occupied with their business. Photography was carried out at room temnovatoy so used flash (the light reflected from the ceiling). Aperture 5.6, shutter speed - 1 / 125.

This baby 7 months old. When shooting, as in the previous case, applying the flash aimed at the ceiling. Baby immediately interested in a photographer and his camera - the scene was instantly fixed.

Some of the most popular photos - photos made on birthdays and holidays of children have.

Certain conditions are required by photographing groups of children. In this case, the photographer must exercise patience and restraint, to call a time when all of the subject will be in the right perspective. In the event that the child's mum or dad talk, brother, sister, grandfather or grandmother, the bulk of the organization - it is their problem. In the picture, three sisters, with the senior set the tone and composition affect the mood of the younger, located in the center. The photo was taken in dull day on the street, the lens focal length 200 mm, aperture 5.6, shutter speed 1 / 125. Photo passes the relationship between the sister, it was funny and direct.

But, of course, the most excellent photos make mom and dad. They may not be specialists in the Photo, but it is in their best opportunities to capture an interesting moment in the life of its Chad. That's why parents, rather than photographers, make the best children's photography. The most common method - often taken with a camera on a walk, keep it handy in the house and found the right moment to withdraw. For example, in this photo of a mother and toddlers podsmotrena successfully lifted their game. Photo was taken at the end of the day using the zoom.
