Is it necessary to take pictures of old people?

Whether it is necessary to take the initiative to take pictures of the elderly, there is actually no fixed answer to this question, which mainly needs to be comprehensively considered according to the wishes of the subject and family needs.

A posthumous photo is a kind of commemorative photo, usually the last set of photos left by someone when he leaves this world, to commemorate his life and keep his memory. In this regard, taking photos can really help families to slowly calm down the pain of losing their loved ones, alleviate the pain of bereavement, and remember the lost loved ones; However, this does not mean that everyone is willing to take pictures.

For older relatives, some people may not want to be photographed, which may usually be due to many factors, such as religious belief, privacy, self-worth and so on. Others regard heritage and traditional culture as private matters and are unwilling to show their photos in public. Therefore, always respect my wishes when taking pictures.

In addition, if family members think it is necessary to take photos, it is recommended to cooperate with professional photographers after full communication with family members to ensure the quality and effect of shooting. At the same time, we can also consider other ways to commemorate, such as making photo albums and recording home movies, so that the deceased relatives can be remembered forever.

When deciding whether to take a photo, we can consider the needs and wishes of the photographer and his family and make a decision on the basis of respect and understanding.

My own personal wish is to take good photos early, because many old people can't leave good photos when they die.
