The misunderstanding of novice photographers: do you have to use a large aperture to take portraits?

Two reasons:

1, the lens with small aperture will be shot with natural light in the case of weak indoor light, so it has to use high ISO, which will aggravate the noise and make the skin texture of the portrait poor. If you use a flash, the picture is stiff and unnatural. Large aperture lens can shoot soft and delicate portraits in natural light.

2. Portrait photos often want to blur the background, reduce background interference, highlight people, and make the picture more feminine. This requires a large aperture to achieve. A small aperture can really exclude good photos, but there are many requirements for light and background, and there are too many conditions to be restricted.
