Untitled Film Stills- Cindy Sherman

I would like to use Cindy Sherman's photo to be my reference
I would ask the children which character they like before shooting, and buy some props to let the children similar to the character.

The character that the children can choose are not only films stars, can be from cartoons, animation, every things that they want.

New direction of my theme

When I finish my research, I think the parents worried the most are health, study, job...and no more. Also, I think that the theme that I choose is too direct and the theme is not attractive enough. So I would like to develop a new idea to present my project which is innocence "童真".

Main POINT:
相機設定

1.手動模式：在室內使用外接閃燈跳燈拍照（燈頭朝天花板），可以說不需測光，只需使用手動曝光模式，根據拍攝需求，設定光圈快門，再使用閃光燈補光即可，設定建議如下。
2.使用高速快門：使用1/125-1/250秒之間快門速度，才能凝結寶寶瞬間的動作和表情，但請勿超過最高閃光燈同步快門，如1/400秒，否則使用跳燈拍攝，有可能會造成閃光燈出力不足，請參閱相關報導：DSLR新手入門必殺技：高速閃燈同步──柔亮寫真利器。
3.選用適宜光圈：光圈大小關係到畫面的清晰範圍（景深）。若無特殊需求，建議將光圈設在F5.6左右，比較容易拍出景深足又銳利的畫面。若背景太雜的話，如附圖，背景為花花的沙發墊，若拍得太清楚會干擾視覺，所以筆者使用Olympus 50mm F2.0定焦鏡頭（相當於35mm相機100mm），搭配F3.5光圈，即可將背景柔化，達到凸顯的目的。
4.感光度：約ISO400上下，一來可多吃些現場光，再者可提升閃光燈照射距離，同時可維持理想的畫質。
5.白平衡：設成日光或閃光燈白平衡，才能獲理想的膚色。

6.其他：在室內，使用中央點對焦和單次拍攝即可（不用連拍，閃燈會跟不上）。


使用跳燈：將燈頭朝向天花板（必須是白色），使用跳燈方式拍照，閃光經擴散後，光質較為柔和，且不會直接打到嬰兒眼睛。
特別注意：請勿對著六個月以下寶寶打閃燈；六個月以上請用跳燈方式，保護寶寶的眼睛，但請勿拍太久。

Child Photography 兒童攝影

  In this project, I would like to use children be my main elements of my image, I will present the photo with some social issue or what the parents that worried about.

  For this purpose, I went to the forum from the internet which are discuss about their children to make my research more comprehensive. Here are my findings.

  Parents that worried the most was the health of their children, then was their study.
(I have called a vote before, but the post delete by the admin of the forum, I will called another vote later, post it later.)
