Why do people in the 1970s and 1980s look so old-fashioned in old photos?

People seldom took pictures before. In the 1980s, ordinary people hardly took photos, but most of them took wedding photos, full moon photos, one-year-old photos and family photos. Occasionally, individuals will take photos in the most conspicuous position at home, on the desk, on the coffee table or directly on the wall. So the photographer at that time would be very cautious and would make you pose repeatedly. Because there was no digital camera at that time, there were not many photos for you to choose from.

In the 1980s, cameras were still a luxury. Most families don't have cameras, so they can only take pictures in photo studios. Taking pictures is a skill that needs to be studied in depth. In the process of taking pictures, film is the most expensive consumable, which limits the daily taking pictures at that time. From the "post-production" point of view, although there was no PS software at that time, you could make physical pictures, make up and tidy up your personal image, which are all preparations that must be made before taking pictures.

There is no beauty camera in the critical era.
