These are some shots from my first photo shoot involving a kid. Granted, I've only been doing photography for a few weeks now, I really enjoyed the challenge, and I have developed a new respect for people who photograph children often! A couple, i realize, are little more than snapshots, but I did try and think about some of them. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thank you!
You should keep an eye on white balance!
That is something I forget about haha. I thought i had it set to cloudy, for these.
Just use auto settings, I'm sure your camera can handle it without problem. Reckon you shoot jpg and not RAW? You can change temperature of colors in post if you forget to set it right :)
I shoot in Raw/Fine.
Aside from adjusting it to, say, cloudy, in my camera, I don't know what else to do.
You could set it to a manual color temp of somewhere between 5200k and 5500k and it should be relatively fine (whether cloudy or sunny). If nothing else it'll get you really close to the general ballpark and can just slightly refine further in post. These are really cute pictures but look more like casual snapshots than a "photo shoot". To get better images, try to be aware of backgrounds, angles, colors, expressions, and drool. :)
Thanks for the advice! Yeah, photo shoot is probably poor wording haha. It was, to me, but I was really just hangin with my friend and his daughter. I tried to be somewhat professional about it.
