TIPS TO CAPTURE NEWBORN BABIES
Photography has a good deal to do with capturing gorgeous and priceless moments. Babies are the abundance of joy and love, and so baby photography is one of the most favored types of Yvette Heiser photography. However, capturing newborns is nothing short of a Herculean task. Patience is key here, as also making sure you don’t disturb the little one. If you are new to baby photography, here are some tips that will help you become a pro.
1. SET YOUR EQUIPMENT BEFOREHAND
When you shoot babies, you should always be prepared. Set your camera and keep the equipment ready so that you can capture at the right time when a precious moment comes up. For instance, some babies don’t smile easily, and it is very rare to catch that perfect moment on camera. So, being prepared helps.
2. FIND OUT WHAT TIME WORKS BEST
It is important to shoot babies according to their comfort and convenience. So, talk to the parents beforehand and determine at what time would the little one be comfortable and cheerful.
3. SHOOT WITHOUT NOISE
Babies can get startled by a noise and throw a tantrum. So, always shoot silently when you are capturing newborns. This especially applies if you are shooting them while they are asleep. But even if they are awake,and you want to avoid a cranky baby, it is best to shoot with less noises that might startle the newborn.
4. USE NATURAL LIGHT FOR THE SHOOT
Using natural light during the daytime is the best approach for baby photography. If you are outdoors, it is easy to achieve this. On the contrary, if you are indoors, you can position the baby near an open window and allow the natural light to do wonders to the picture.
5. AVOID USING FLASH
Just as with noise, it is a wiser approach not to use flash in baby photography. It is possible that the flash can be directed at the baby’s eyes. This can affect their eyes as well as cause instant discomfort to the child. So, it is recommended to avoid using flash while capturing babies.
6. SHOOT FROM THE LITTLE
ONE’S EYE LEVEL
Shooting from the eye level is useful because it allows a connection between the baby and the photographer. This is negligible when shooting older children or adults as they understand they are being captured. However, a baby is always curious about what’s happening around and being able to establish intimacy helps the photograph.
CONCLUSION
To sum it up, communicating with the parent to know about the baby’s comfort and acting accordingly is important for baby photography. Because ultimately, your idea is to capture the baby’s special moments and not to trouble their happiness. Keeping this in mind and implementing the tips mentioned above, you can try out baby photography confidently. Read the
