DedupeTips for Great Halloween Kids Photography
Last Updated :Halloween is that time of year when kids get to dress up in any costume they like and pretend to be any character, no matter how scary, in fact, the scarier the better! The whole excitement of dressing up and then going trick or treating is special for every kid and you would want to capture these moments. They will make for wonderful memories even years down the line. Here are 5 tips for great Halloween kids photographs.
Here are Some Tips for Great Halloween Kids Photography
Go for close-ups:
At Halloween, the costume and makeup are most important and you do not want to miss out on the minute details of your kid’s “look”. Make sure you get at least a few close-ups of the kids in costume and makeup. Get them to make scary faces or try different expressions when shooting the close-ups. It will be great fun for you as well as the kids!Get group photos:
Halloween is also a time for families and friends to get together so kids get to spend time with their friends and cousins. When photographing, remember to get group photos of all the kids as soon as they are dressed up (before anyone gets juice on their clothes or anyone’s makeup get runny). Group photographs are especially relevant if the kids have dressed up based on a theme with each one playing a character. Leaving anyone out would leave the photograph incomplete.Angles:
Take photographs of the kids from different angles. This way you will get different shots of their costume and look and can later choose the best ones. It will also give the kids a chance to pose, acting as the character they are portraying.Include the decorations:
Another important tip for great Halloween kids photographs is to get some photographs of the kids with the decorations. This adds to the Halloween look. One look at a child in costume with a carved pumpkin and lanterns and you just know that photograph was taken at Halloween.Avoid a flash:
Most of the action at Halloween begins after dark so lighting is important in Halloween kids photographs. As much as possible, use natural light. When a flash is absolutely necessary, try using a diffuser to avoid the harsh glare of a bare flash. You will get more “real” photographs and capture the kids’ expressions so much better.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
