Taking art photos, have you been cheated? -Be sure to look before taking pictures.

When I was a child, I saw the beautiful stickers collected by my brother and sister from the drawer. Later, when I went to school, I found that almost everyone had an exercise book dedicated to copying lyrics, with pictures of various stars attached. When graduating from high school, it is popular for everyone to give photos to each other. Of course, you have to take the highest standard artistic photos. As long as we hear who has brought back the photos, everyone will scramble for them. I remember at that time, if you brought them all, you might not have any left in your hand, and you might even praise your hand.

? We use exquisite photo albums to make it look like memories of youth. I remember taking a picture of myself in the studio at that time, probably dozens or hundreds.

? Later, after graduating from college, it costs about 300 yuan to take a set of photos in my hometown's studio. Later, in recent years, the price of art photos soared to one thousand to several thousand, and then to tens of thousands. I remember taking a group photo with my girlfriend, and the group purchase price was 999. At that time, I saw many families and made a comparative choice. The result was still good. The photographer also took the location, although the shape was very strange (some friends said it looked like a little dragon man), but the attitude was particularly good. Perhaps because of the personal photography studio, I pay more attention to word of mouth. The store gave the negative very happily and promised to help us mail the photo album.

This year, I was lucky enough to meet a businessman who set all the routines of the studio. Now, I will take stock of the routines of the photo studio for everyone:

First, all your requirements are vaguely promised, and all means are used to make you pay in advance (called deposit)

? To ask you to pay in advance, their routine is: first, say an ultra-high price-"what about the price of our company?" Three sets of clothes 2680. " Hearing this price, you must think it's too expensive. After a while, the salesgirl came up to you sweetly and said, "Beauty, I won the limited preferential quota of our company for you. Now it only takes 1380 to shoot three sets of clothes. " Listen again at this time: Oh, it's much cheaper. Then I sent you an excellent photo taken by someone I didn't know. I said that these photos can be taken, and you are a little dizzy and a little shaken. Next, we will do everything we can to get you to pay a deposit to promote Miss Sister. The first step: after talking about the discount package, say it's almost done; Step 2: Try to agree to everything you ask, or say yes vaguely. For example, you said that time was tight and it was not convenient to choose films. She said she couldn't decide and asked you to go to the store to discuss it. You said you wanted the film that hasn't been repaired, and she also said we'll discuss it later. In a word, everything is negotiable, as long as you go alone. Pay the money and everything will be fine.

Second, I paid a deposit. When you were ready to take a photo, I told you that his clothes were not back, which made you wait.

I won't tell you how incomplete it is when you pay the deposit. When you arrive, I'll tell you at last: only these sets. Look carefully, most of the promotional photos she sent you at the beginning are not available. I didn't say anything at that time. I'll tell you after you take a taxi to wipe the sweat from your forehead. You think it's hard to get here, that's all. Those clothes, tossed and turned, are neither fish nor fowl. Far from the dignified style I promised you.

Third, be sure to be there in person when selecting films. The ultimate goal is that you can choose more movies and pay extra money.

If you ask for the original request after filming, you will be severely rejected. There is no way. You have already paid all the money at this step. What can you do? On the day of film selection, you came in front of a lot of staff. You said you had to choose quickly, and there were things to do later. They treat you like a doormat and say, "Why are you in such a hurry every time?" Wait a minute, we will copy the photos to a special movie selection computer. " At this point, you find that in this small site, it is actually divided into: makeup department, film selection department, studio, studio. One person can sit in each carriage. Probably to prevent you from copying photos with a USB flash drive.

Finally, you can choose. A lady with delicate makeup sits next to you and smiles at you. ...

A *** 100, only 16 can be selected. You said, "well, can I just choose what I want?" The beauty shook her head. "Sorry, our film selection system can only delete what you don't want."

"When should I delete 84 photos?"

"impossible"

"Can I see the thumbnails? You can't delete it without comparison. "

"Sorry, I can only watch them one by one."

At this time, your heart is collapsed. You feel that in the face of this full-screen photo, you have to look at it again and again. What they could have done in five minutes turned into an hour.

Facing one enlarged photo after another, I can't remember what I have seen before, and I am dazzled. Think for yourself, or I'll leave more.

You ask, "How much is an extra negative number?"

"160 one, I can give you a discount of -80 one."

It suddenly occurred to me that a few years ago, it was the same scene, 10 yuan. You overcharged 10, and paid 100. At this moment, if you want to stay 10. Sorry, 800 yuan.

You sneer in your heart, then delete it.

In the end, you finished your choice and never left. Those staff members may be calling you a miser. You take out the USB flash drive and say, "Can I copy it?" The staff said calmly, "Sorry, our USB flash drives are all locked and can't be copied."

You said: "WeChat can always be connected, right?"

Yes, let Xiao pass it to you later. Look around. Little a is not here. You asked, "Can't you others send it to me now?" "No, we don't have permission. You go back and wait, I will definitely pass it on to you. "

Still the same attitude as before: go back and wait for news. It's like you just finished the interview, and the interviewer told you to go back and wait for the call.

At this point, you will lose your temper: send it to me at once, who knows who will talk to me when I get back. It's like begging uncle. I don't know when it will last.

At this point, the staff seemed to see a wonderful you: are you in such a hurry?

Ladies and gentlemen, are you in a hurry?

Fourth, look at the photos carefully and find that the technology is poor.

The original promised film became "the company does not allow customers to copy unrepaired films". I still remember that when I took pictures at that time, I said that I couldn't be the master, but now it has become the explicit stipulation of the other company's justice. Even if you clearly heard someone agree, it's a pity that there was no recording. I can't help it Looking at the newly modified photos, you can see at a glance that this is Photoshop batch processing, that is, hundreds of photos can be processed in batches at the same step. It's almost like peeling your face with one button. They won't even consider it. I guess, it may also be one-click processing by specialized software. Look carefully, the earrings are deformed, and individual side faces become awls because of excessive face-lifting. At this moment, you know, the photo is completely useless, because you can't recognize the ghost of the person whose facial features and skull are out of harmony in the photo.

You probably think so, too. The final result is likely to be a lot of fancy photo studio photos on the Internet, so that you can't see the five senses clearly. Thigh is thin and long (the exposure photo you deleted).

You even suspect that you spent more than 1000 yuan on other people's photos, and they are ugly.

In a word, the official must choose a good institution to take art photos, or he will spend money to buy lessons. Now some photo studios have long deviated from the original intention of taking pictures. Excessive peeling and thin face, a template for making photos in batch format, the same artificial posture, and fake amazing background props. If we don't take photos and see our beautiful side, it depends on Ps, then we might as well not take photos and buy photos of stars directly.

Some studios are far from real photography.
