Lu Xiaoman, who was praised by handsome guys during the Republic of China, why did the photos take so flatly?

This kind of thing should be normal. First, the aesthetics at that time were different from those now. Lu Xiaoman, who was praised at that time, may not be the beauty we think today. Second, the photography technology at that time was definitely not as good as the current photography technology, and the pixels were relatively low. Third, Lu Xiaoman may not be very photogenic. It looks beautiful in reality, but the photos taken are not very beautiful.

Let's talk about this aesthetic problem first. To tell the truth, people's aesthetic standards have been changing since ancient times, and will change with the development of social economy. For example, in the past, most beautiful women had eyebrows and almond eyes, but now many beautiful women in people's eyes are straight eyebrows and pointed chin, which depends on the aesthetic standards of each era. Lu Xiaoman should conform to the aesthetic standards at that time, not the present aesthetic standards.

Let's talk about photography. We have seen all the old photos before, black and white, old, not particularly clear. Compared with the current photos, it is completely ruined. I have seen several photos of famous beauties in the Republic of China before, such as Lu Xiaoman and Lin. They don't feel as good as the legend, but they look quite ordinary, so photography technology may really lower their face value level.

Then there is the problem of photojournalism. In fact, we have many friends around us. Everyone may have such a friend. They look particularly beautiful in private, but they feel unnatural when taking pictures, not as good as themselves. Maybe Lu Xiaoman is this type. Therefore, just because Lu Xiaoman's photos are not good-looking, doesn't mean he is not good-looking.
