How should you photograph children? This question is asked by many parents, which is why we dedicate this lesson in which we will help you with the choice of equipment and shooting parameters, give advice on layout and working with light, and also reveal the basics of communication with children necessary for their photography.
Traditionally for our photography school, all tips are divided into 2 parts - camera settings and actual shooting practice. And don’t let the lesson number confuse you - you will succeed! :)
Let's start with some tips for setting up your camera for photographing children.
Aperture priority mode. Shooting in this mode and high-aperture optics will allow you to control the depth of field (DOF), which is important for portrait photography, so that the background in the photos is blurred, focusing attention on the subject. The optimal value will be f/2.2-2.8 (according to shooting conditions) for a portrait close-up, and f/2.8-4 for shooting full-length portrait. These values are conditional, used personally by the author of the lesson, and you can practically determine the settings of your camera that you consider more correct.
If your camera doesn't have aperture priority mode (i.e. your camera doesn't have manual settings), you can use portrait mode. When using this mode, the camera's automation will open the maximum aperture for the focal length you choose, reducing the depth of field.
ISO- Depending on where the photo is being taken (indoors or outdoors) and the light, set the ISO value to the lowest possible value to prevent noise. ISO at 100-200 - if the lighting is good enough. If the lighting is insufficient and the shutter speed at low ISO is long, you can compensate for this by increasing the photosensitivity, but I recommend no more than 800.
Excerpt- try to use 1/200 for static prophecy when your child is posing, and if children are not sitting still, go up to 1/500 or higher. As mentioned above, if there is not enough light and the shutter speed in aperture priority mode is set longer than 1/125, increase the ISO or open the aperture slightly. If your camera does not have manual settings, use the sports settings mode.
Focus mode- set the focus mode to one point - with children who are constantly moving, this will be the optimal mode. In simple point-and-shoot cameras, unfortunately, you cannot select the camera focus mode (maybe you should think about changing the camera?).
Image format when shooting- if you have the time and skills to process photos, then try to take pictures in RAW format. This will give you more options for post-processing. And again, I note that digital compacts do not allow you to choose the format for saving images.
Flash/Lighting- if there is a hot shoe connector in the camera, it is better to immediately refuse to use the built-in flash. If the photo is taken indoors, use an external flash to bounce the light pulse off the wall or ceiling (if they are white) or use a diffuser to get indirect light. If external flash no, or the camera does not allow you to install it - try to photograph in natural light and do not worry about the flash (except for moments when you are shooting against the sun and you will need flash fill light).
Lenses. If your camera has interchangeable lenses, then the choice is determined by the condition described at the beginning of the lesson - large aperture. When photographing children dynamically, it is necessary to use a zoom lens; when photographing statically - the best option There will, of course, be a lens with a fixed focal length. A TV zoom lens allows you to capture casual scenes from a distance, while a wide-angle lens allows you to take panoramic shots.
Now that the settings are complete, it’s time to move on directly to shooting practice.
Practice photographing children
Before giving specific advice on photographing children, it should be mentioned that the child should feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during the photographing process. You can show your child the photographs you took, let your child look at the camera, or let him take a few pictures himself.
The place where you will take photos, if it is situational, but try to think through 2-3 scenes in advance that you would like to capture. Shoot outdoors (for example, in a park or forest), and indoors (for example, a bedroom or a room where a child plays). Find a place with a simple, low-key backdrop for posing (and make sure there's no carpet behind you!). Choose places where children will find it fun and interesting, then you can photograph them in a relaxed atmosphere while playing.
Hidden photography- try to photograph children as secretly as possible. They can do their favorite things during this time. Use a TV lens.
Avoid staged shooting where a child, for example, sits among toys with a sour face and looks at them indifferently. The picture is called “Happy Birthday,” but another name suits it best: “This photographer got all your gifts.” Unfortunately, social media they are simply teeming with just such photographs.
Posing- older children love to pose, but small children are not very attentive to this and photographs in which they pose may look a little unnatural and forced.
The best period for photographing babies is from 6 to 9 months. Then we have the most angelic faces, wide-open eyes and the most controlled mood. During this period, babies look at what is shown to them, lie where they are placed, and touch what is given. All in all, ideal models. In a year or two, character begins to emerge. It depends on your luck. Maybe all the games that you have prepared for him will be completely uninteresting to him. At three or four, it is difficult to get children to stand in one place. Don’t even hope that you will put a small child in front of the lens and he will smile radiantly at you, turn in different directions and react to everything you say. Will not be. 100%. The film set turns into a playground for active games, and you always want to play in places other than where they are taking pictures. But closer to 5 years, a child can already pose well.
Take photos at the level of the child's face- ordinary Small child no higher than half your height, and if you photograph him from your height, the pictures will turn out ordinary and inexpressive, and the proportions of the child’s body will be disrupted. Therefore, sit down at the child’s eye level.
Using the zoom. Can be increased focal length zooming, but do not forget that in this case lenses with a variable aperture value reduce the aperture, and, accordingly, the shutter speed increases and the depth of field increases. It is better not to use the zoom, leaving the lens in a wide-angle position and taking pictures in the surrounding context, not forgetting that the children’s faces should also dominate the pictures, and not just the surroundings.
Focus on the eyes. Pay maximum attention to the child's eyes. Clear eyes in a photo will always draw the viewer's attention to it.
Background. Pay attention to the background of your photos. The background gives context to photos, but it can also distract attention from the main subject. Before shooting, remove all unnecessary objects from the frame. Experiment with backgrounds of different colors and textures, or, on the contrary, take a photo so that the background is not visible at all.
Cloth- choose clothes that the child will feel comfortable in and that will reflect his personality. It's also good to have several different costumes if the shoot will take place in different locations. Avoid bright, flashy colors and accessories in the frame - they distract attention from the child’s eyes and create a certain spot of color - the visual center of the photo.
To obtain original photos use continuous shooting mode.
Include other people in the frame as another way to help your child relax - add parents, brothers, sisters, friends, etc. This will add a sense of relationship to the frame and will distract the child from the photographer. Filming two children is more interesting than one, but also more difficult. Here the emotions of one child must coincide with the emotions of another, otherwise there will be complete confusion. Here, too, it’s easier to give them some kind of task and film what they do. Only then will the photograph not look artificial.
Make the photo shoot as fun as possible. Try to make your child happy by asking him to do some fun things, this will make the pictures more energetic and help the child relax. The more fun the child is, the more sincere and original his photographs will be.
Light scheme, which you will use indoors, should not be complex and difficult to customize. You tell the children to stand here, and they move half a meter to the side. And it is on the sidelines that the best personnel will be found. If your light is set to a specific point and a specific angle, you won't achieve much. It is easy to photograph children against a white background, where a step to the right or a step to the left does not play a big role, although, of course, you still need to monitor the light and, if possible, adjust it.
We will highlight photography in kindergartens and schools separately.
The production process of school photography requires careful organization. The fact is that photographing one class can usually take time comparable to one lesson. There are from twenty-five to forty-five students in a class. The lesson lasts forty-five minutes. Therefore, the photographer has only one minute for each portrait.
A portable studio in a miniature version consists of a studio flash with a power of 150 J (at a distance of 130 cm from the umbrella to the child’s eyes, it gives an aperture of 8), an umbrella with a diameter of 100 cm (moving the umbrella more than thirty meters from the eyes is bad. At the same time, it ceases to produce a soft cut-off pattern, but large-diameter umbrellas cannot be used: they take up too much space), a reflector to the right of the photographer (about twenty cm from the child’s shoulder) and a source of drawing light (ideally it should be positioned so that during the shooting process it is not needed too much) move frequently, approximately 20 cm above the child’s head, at an angle of 45 degrees to the lens axis).
Opening a hole even larger than 8 is bad, because there is no reserve of depth of field, and in case of the slightest mistake you can get a defect. Considering the pace of filming, it's best not to take risks.
During recess, children run wild and run around like meteors, constantly knocking over the fence of chairs built around the studio. It costs them nothing to knock any of the flashes onto the floor. Therefore, during breaks, filming stops, the photographer retrains as a security guard.
The lens should allow you to shoot a half-length portrait from an arm's length distance. This is important because every now and then children have to straighten their shirt collars, ties, and bangs. Portraits are characterized by a soft pattern, shallow depth of field and usually large aperture ratio.
When photographing a class, turn off autofocus and frame the frame so that the subject's head occupies three-quarters of the frame, there is not too much body, and there is a small amount of space above the head. blurred background. Now focus on the child's eyes and seal the focusing ring with tape. The main thing is that the image scale of the heads does not change during the work. When they all come together in one cool vignette, the different-sized heads will look ugly. You will have to focus by changing the position of your own head: either approaching the client’s eyes, or moving away from them. Not very convenient, but the output standard of the product is guaranteed. Another one important detail. At the moment of shooting, the camera mirror rises, and for a short moment you lose sight of the person. And at this very moment he strives to blink. There is only one way to avoid this during the shooting process: you need to look at the lens with one eye and directly at the child with the other and, if necessary, take a double. Avoiding mistakes by looking at the camera display every now and then is not an option - the pace of work will be disrupted.
On the eve of the shoot, children usually receive a lot of “useful” advice from their parents. A trained child, sitting on a chair in front of the photographer, inflates like a bubble, begins to straighten his hair, his collar, chew his own lips, or gives such a crooked smile that he is just about ready to burst out laughing. A lot in this case depends on the behavior of the photographer. You can’t let the child come to his senses. As soon as you sit him down and straighten his hair and clothes, immediately ask him some stupid question that has nothing to do with the shooting, but requires a switch of attention. For example: “How many kwa will there be every time?”, “What is the name of your cat?”, “Turn your nose a little to the left,” etc. You should have quite a lot of such blanks in stock so that the question is unexpected for each subsequent child.
Children usually stand in line outside the studio and watch everything that happens like a small performance in which the photographer is both a director and an actor at the same time. And whether children are interested in the performance depends on their behavior during filming. The moment a child hears a question, he willy-nilly switches his attention from the desire to be beautiful and control his facial muscles to thinking about an unexpected question. At this time his face takes on a natural expression. This is the moment of truth, catch it, pull the trigger. After a moment, the child will think about the question and respond: he will begin to talk, smile and again begin to play “handsome”.
You shouldn’t film children talking or squeeze smiles out of them if they themselves don’t smile at you with a full measure of trust. Uneven teeth or any glands in the mouth are very unsightly. It’s better for these guys not to open their mouths at all.
Children should not be allowed to stand directly behind you. They begin to make faces, show their horns, in a word, entertain the one who is already filming. This disrupts the rhythm of filming and prevents the creation of an optimal mood for the entire class. Confidence, goodwill, calmness, gentle tolerance for children's pranks and at the same time firmness in organizational requirements are absolutely necessary. If you can persuade the teacher to tidy up your tomboys, and you don’t waste time combing unruly tufts and putting collars and ties in order, you’ll be able to take down the whole class in forty-five minutes and still not create a marriage.
Higher grades are more difficult to film. The girls are all fashion models. They may sit on a chair with their back to the light because that side of their face seems better to them. Persuading someone to change seats is useless. It is necessary to prepare in advance for rearranging the light and mark on the floor where the umbrella stand will be installed. Large guys will have to be filmed while standing. Conversations with them and distractions should be more sophisticated and humorous. Commands in an orderly tone do not work. In a confrontational environment, filming goes poorly. Many guys have teenage acne. Therefore, stock up on good covering powder and concealer pencils. Accompanied by friendly laughter, the children will have to quickly paint their cheeks and foreheads, without listening to objections. The result is quite decent portraits without pimples and freckles. An alternative is computer retouching.
That's all for today. I hope the materials in this lesson were interesting and useful for you. Good luck and all your photography!
The birth of children is a real miracle. Trembling excitement, anticipation of the birth of a baby, the first cry, a smile. These are unforgettable moments in the life of a new little person, which many parents want not only to preserve in memory, but also in a photograph. And it’s best to entrust the first photo session in your baby’s life to a professional.
Preparing for shooting
So, you have received an order for a newborn photo shoot. What should you think about first? Of course, come to the shoot fully armed: don’t forget your camera and all the things necessary for photography.
Preparing for a baby photo shoot is very close in responsibility to preparing for wedding photography.
It is important to take into account numerous nuances and not forget anything. Sometimes even an experienced and popular photographer can be perplexed by photographing a newborn if he has had little contact with children before. The little man does not yet know how to pose, express different emotions that the photographer would like to see in the photo. This is the beauty and purity of babies, but this is also the problem for the photographer. At any moment, the child may cry, refusing to take at least one shot. So you need to be patient and smart in order to make a truly beautiful and moving photo session that will delight the baby’s parents and relatives for many years.
List of things needed for shooting
- Main and spare cameras;
- New memory cards;
- Lenses;
- Rattles and other toys (needed to attract the baby’s attention);
- Background stand and clips;
- It is advisable to take a heater with you to prevent your baby from freezing if you are filming in a studio rather than in the house;
- A comfortable chair (preferably one with height control);
- A place where you can put the baby (this can be a beautiful pillow, a cocoon, a bean bag chair);
- Additional clothes to change into in case of a child's surprise;
- Necessary decor (depending on the shooting concept);
- Photo background;
- Various accessories: diapers, ribbons, bows, etc.
Make sure to eat well before your photo shoot because it can take an unpredictably long time.
You can take with you a small mattress or blanket that you can place under your knees while shooting so that you are comfortable and your legs don’t get numb. Carefully select clothes for this event: they should be light and comfortable, not restricting movement. Remember that you will have to work with a very small child, so it is very difficult to guess how long it will take to shoot. Perhaps the baby will sleep all the time and you will be able to take all the successful shots in a short time. But it may also be that you spend several hours searching for successful shots. Therefore, be prepared for anything and carefully prepare for the photo shoot.
Your positive attitude. For parents, as a rule, the first photo session of their child is very exciting and causes a lot of worry and anxiety. And you should be smiling and calm. This will be felt not only by the parents, but also by the baby himself. Be more optimistic, everything will definitely work out!
Features of shooting children of different ages
When your bag for the photo shoot is packed and you are in the mood, it’s time to think about what the specifics of the upcoming photo shoot will be. After all, in different months of life, children express themselves differently, so it is important to know these nuances.
Newborn photography up to 4 weeks
As a rule, during this period of time the baby sleeps for the most part. You have a wonderful opportunity to choose the right angle for a long time, calmly use the scenery, and invent stories. You can ask the parents to stand in the frame with the baby and offer to take him in their arms. There are many options, use your imagination.
Baby photography at 4 weeks
At this age, the baby still needs to support his head, and you can take advantage of this by doing family portrait. Let one of the parents take the child in such a way that he lies in his arms, like on a pillow, with his tummy down. In this position, the baby will be calm and relaxed, and you will get great shots.
Photographing a baby at three months
You will have to be patient to really catch good shot, for example, a baby yawning.
Photographing a 4 month old baby
This is almost your last opportunity to photograph a baby sleeping in your arm. Next, the baby will be more mobile and less prone to static shots.
Baby photography at 5 months
During this period, the child is already making his first attempts to sit, which you can take advantage of. Involve parents in the photo who will support the baby in his desire to sit, and you will get a great shot.
Before 6 months, you need to have time to take a photo of the baby’s arms and legs, while they are still tiny.
Photographing a baby at 6 months
From this time on, the child sits independently and makes more contact with people, including the photographer. Much will depend on the ability to establish a connection with the baby, interest him, and he will like it. Your charm, friendliness, smiling, and sincerity will certainly be needed here. Become a child's friend, and you will definitely get unforgettable, touching shots.
- Advice:
Be attentive to details, they will help you create unique and original shots.
Photographing one-year-old children
First birthday. So many opportunities for successful shots! Surely the parents were preparing for the holiday, decorating the room, dressing up, baking or ordering the main attribute of the holiday - a cake. In foreign countries, for example, a very common trend is cake slap, when kids eat a cake and smear themselves with this sweetness. The results are funny, very lively shots! Try to negotiate with your parents about such a shoot and you will be guaranteed fun, cheerful photos.
Photographing children 2 years old
At this age, a child willingly communicates with an adult if he himself finds an approach to him. You need to learn to play with the baby, behave directly, take pictures in between, but capture cute moments, funny ones, when, for example, the child makes faces or plays tag with you.
Knowing the specifics of children of each age period, you are more likely to be able to avoid unwanted consequences from a photo shoot when neither you nor your parents are satisfied with the shooting. Therefore, use our advice and expand your portfolio excellent shots and excite the admiration of your baby’s parents with stunning photographs of your child.
- Take several shots from different angles. Some shots may turn out blurry or unsuccessful, but kids still don’t know how to pose. Therefore, your dexterity and dexterity are very important for this photo shoot plan. It’s better to take more photos so that you have plenty to choose from later.
- Take photos of babies during the day. It is at this time of day that newborns are more inclined to take pictures. A huge plus is that daylight is better than electric light. You will also most likely have the opportunity to photograph your baby both while sleeping and after waking up. Thus, you will get a different photographic plan, which is undoubtedly better than monosyllabic ones.
- One of the most important tips is to turn off the flash. The child may simply be afraid of it, and bright light has a negative effect on the retina.
- Be sure to involve family members in the filming. Babies will feel much more comfortable next to mom, dad, brother, sister and other close relatives.
- Choose beautiful, unusual props for your photo shoot, with which you can make even the most ordinary shot incredible.
- Don't panic if your baby starts crying. Taking pictures of a crying baby is also possible, so don’t be afraid of the baby’s tears and screams.
- Take detailed photographs. Let only the baby’s legs, arms, and head be in the frame. This enlargement makes the frame very cute and allows you to focus on the touching nature of the little creature.

Get ready - there will be a LOT of photos))))))
1. My very first realized idea this is of course from the series "What do children dream about". I couldn't get past her. The idea is not mine at all, but it is so beautiful that it has found a sea of followers. I realized all this for month-old Glebashi, who did NOT sleep during the entire photo shoot!) But he should have) He’s generally a sleepyhead in my life, but when taking photos, he was so awake and that’s it)
My husband asked me to make a similar series for my youngest son, but I hate repeating myself so much that for Timka other ideas were used (brain exercise))))
2. "Animal photo shoot"))), as I called her......Everyone who came to visit our house brought soft toy and in the end there were so many of them that they could be grouped into families: this is bear, this is bull, this is hare, mouse, tiger....
So I came up with another photo experiment)
The other day, by the way, I donated almost all of these toys and other soft ones to charity - the children don’t play, and they take up a lot of space. Let them bring joy to others.
2. "hat party" .... Reviewing and arranging children's hats according to the seasons, we set out and took plenty of photographs))) Using some knowledge of Photoshop, we got funny collages with memory)
4. Regular restless readers of my blog know my love for angels) A small part of them took part in "Angel photo shoot." The subjects were selected according to theme - sleeping angels and sleeping Glebash, reading angels and reading Glebash)))), angels with spoons, mugs and fruits and Glebash ready for dinner)))))
Now the collection has grown VERY much, and the photo shoot would be very long)))))
5. By the time Timka was born, I already had an idea of what newborn photography was like, having seen enough photographs from my favorite photographers).. I even watched a video on how to prepare a baby, about the background, about music so that the baby does not cry, sleep... But mine The child refused to sleep at all! And then for the first weeks my back and chest also hurt terribly... In general, it didn’t work out quite well newborn photography, and already a 15-day-old awake baby)))) I don’t show my heels and toes)), only “costumed” ideas))) All myself - accessories myself, I amused myself... I sent all the other residents of the apartment with dad for a walk outside) )) Not everything worked out, but still)
6. Photos with numbers.
Until the child is one year old, we celebrate every mini-birthday of the child - the first month, two, three... Karina once even asked me: “Why does Gleb have a birthday every month, and mine once a year?”...
Photos with numbers are very popular. Mommies add up numbers from diapers, from jars of fruit puree, from oranges, from maple leaves, from rattles... Whatever comes to hand)))
Well, of course, since I sew, my numbers turned out to be textile)
7. In addition to numbers, of course, you can use letters!) Here, too, you can let your imagination run wild - letters from the alphabet, plastic, wooden, textile letters, written on the board. And now wooden words for decoration are very popular. If you have a jigsaw, you can buy plywood or chipboard at a hardware store and make super decor from the word.
And I found these pictures in our photo archive)
8. The following series of photographs belongs to the category "The clothes gave me the idea."))
For a long time now, fashionable mothers have been trying to dress their children fashionably, stylishly, and then photograph them and show them in a topic like “Fashionable kids”, “Children’s look” - I like to look at such topics, I honestly admit) Pictures in family-look are very popular.
There is so much variety now fashionable clothes that the photos, in any case, with the right wardrobe, will look awesome.
It is important to know children's developmental stages when photographing. Photographing a newborn baby, for example, is completely different from photographing a 6 to 9 month old baby. It's such a fun transition from a tiny newborn bundle to a giggling, bubbly little person. Photographing a baby at six months can be a real joy! The family has already been formed, everyone is accustomed to the fact that there is a child in the house, and individual family traits are reflected in it.
Set yourself up for success.
Be sure to talk to the parents before the shoot, make sure you choose a suitable time for the shoot when the child is rested and well fed. There is nothing worse than trying to make a tired and capricious child smile - he will squirm, cry, be capricious. Believe me, nothing good will come of this.
Often if different people trying to attract the child's attention in different directions, he will look confused, you will spend much more time taking pictures, and the child will be more tired. If baby is fussy, have mom or dad hold him to calm him down and you can take an over-the-shoulder photo. Focus on the eyes, they reflect curiosity and a great desire to explore the world.
Quick game.
Children from six to nine months do not have much patience. You can take a toy and make noise with it and then take a photo. If you try to get the perfect appearance, you will lose the patience of the child and the parents, and you will be the most unpopular person in the room.
What can you do with another six month old baby?
First of all, let's talk about the six month old baby. Most children at this stage have difficulty sitting still. You must ensure that the child does not fall or get hurt. If the child is already sitting, make sure that he is well balanced and has support - be it a soft pillow or the mother who is next to the child. Never leave a child unattended. If the child is not yet sitting, you can sit him in a corner or against a pillow and place toys nearby.
You can afford older sister Hug your baby to take an adorable sibling photo. Make sure you are on their level and photograph their point of view as well.
Another one interesting idea for a child who is not yet walking, this is to lie on his tummy. This can be tiring for your baby, so make sure you take a quick photo and move the toys to get his attention. If you're filming indoors, you may want to use a flash, but make sure it doesn't disturb your child.
Nine months is fun in the sun.
A nine-month-old baby is very interesting to photograph; he already knows about many things, but still remains obedient. They don't even realize they're being photographed, so they're just having fun with mom and dad. Many babies are not walking yet by 9 months, but they are trying. Try getting down to photograph a baby taking his first steps while his parents hold his hands.
