Take family photos need to pay attention to what, as follows:
One, the shooting before communication is very important as a photographer in the shooting before the necessary communication with the guests, the shooting of the family is also, must take the initiative to understand your guests, to understand the guests in order to what to do in order to shoot the family photo?
What kind of style do you want to shoot, what is the use of the photos taken, and whether there are attractions that you want to go shooting. If the guest is not prepared for these, you can take the initiative to suggest some good ideas for the guest.
Two, about clothing constraints sometimes guests in order to present a certain style or picture, some families may wear some family clothes, as a photographer should also remind the customer clothing is not too cross-dressing.
But the photographer should not be too strict and cause unnecessary strife, thus affecting your shooting mood. You can also let each family member wear different clothes, as long as the overall feeling of harmony, you can also shoot the ideal family photo.
Three, pay attention to the shooting time arrangement in the shooting of family photos, if there is a relatively small child inside, take into account the rest time of the child, try to avoid the rest time of the child, so as to avoid the child's emotional instability. If you're shooting a location, try to avoid direct sunlight at noon, and choose to shoot three hours after sunset.
Four, pay attention to the size of the aperture usually in the shoot a person, the use of large aperture is indeed effective, but in the shoot more people, with a large aperture will sometimes make part of the human face blurred. In order to be able to shoot everyone well, try not to use a large aperture, you can try F8.0-13 this range to shoot.
Fifth, pay attention to the speed of the flash back in the shooting of family photos, many people like to use continuous shooting techniques, a shot several, and then choose the best one, so as not to always have someone to appear closed-eye phenomenon. Nowadays, cameras are very capable of continuous shooting, but can the speed of your in-camera flash recharge also keep up with the speed of the camera's continuous shooting?
You can use an externally linked flash, which is more stable in comparison because it's a separate battery.
Six, moderate shooting and rest in the weather is relatively hot summer shooting, must not be a long time to shoot, always observe the physical condition of the guests, let them rest at the right time, or else a long time, because of thirst, sweating woefully, thus affecting the quality of the picture.
