The difference between portraits and photos

1. Different makeup and clothing: artistic photos are more artistic, with thicker makeup, more exaggerated styling, and more sophisticated clothing; portraits are more authentic, with less makeup, less exaggerated styling, and less exaggerated clothing.

2. Different authenticity: artistic photos are often trimmed and beautified after artistic processing, and are generally significantly different from the person themselves; portraits are very similar to real people.

3. The shooting locations are different: mostly in art studios; mostly in outdoor locations for portraits.

4. Different types of styles: artistic photo styles can be divided into pure, dreamy, lively, sexy, avant-garde, alternative, etc.; photos are generally based on the individual's body and age. Temperament can be divided into avant-garde type, youthful type, dignified type, chic type, etc.

The word photo comes from Japanese, which actually means photography, so any photography can be called photo. Photography in China is generally defined as nude photography by many people, that is, the subject is photographed naked or semi-nude. But portraits also belong to the category of artistic photos. It seems that many times portraits are equated with artistic photos.

As for artistic photos, it is very broad. As long as they are taken with makeup, they can be called artistic photos.
