Halloween is a warm, fun and festive holiday. The bright costumes and intense seasonal colors make Halloween the perfect photo op. Here are some tricks to make it a treat to share this magical night.
Mask off, mask on. You might know who that child behind the mask is, but will anyone else? Make sure you have at least one Halloween photo of the kids before they put on their costumes.
Get up-close. Capture all the spooky details by getting close to your subject. Keep distracting background elements out of the frame. If you use manual aperture mode, open the lens to keep the foreground sharp and the background blurry.
Get down to kid level. Photograph kids at their level, not yours. A camera pointed down at a child will only capture one perspective. Crouch down and take close-up shots of kids for warmer, intimate Halloween photos. Avoid using a flash. Most Halloween fun takes place after the sun goes down. A flash throws a cool, unappealing light on colorful costumes and decorations. Try other light sources to give your images an eerie glow like extra candles inside the pumpkin or a flashlight as a ghoulish spot. Tell your ghost story. Your Halloween photos can tell a story by showcasing a sequence of events throughout the day. Capture everything with your camera: the ambiance, the decorations, the candy, the kids and the parents. Make it a candid camera. Part of telling a story is capturing unexpected moments, not just posed shots. Let your camera act as an impartial observer. Your Halloween photos will be more natural and engaging.
