Here is a simple way to take a special christmas photo of your kids this year.
It looks almost like a studio photo, but here is the secret, its just wrapping paper!
TIPS:
- Choose a matt paper. Shiny, reflective paper doesnt photograph well
- You may need 2 strips of paper on the wall to make a big enough backdrop
- Try to have your main light source (i.e. large window) behind you
- Turn your flash off
- Sit your child around a metre in front of the backdrop so it will be a bit blurry
- If you have a DLSR set your f stop to about 2.8 to get a nice out-of-focus background
- Get down low, on your tummy even, to take the photo at their level
- For babies, you can give them a christmas bauble to hold (just be sure it's not glass) or for toddlers a seat will help keep them in place for a few seconds while you take the photo
