Photography has been endowed with the mission of recording since its birth. Recording scenery, current events, relatives and life, for those who like photography, the meaning of photography is to shoot beautiful things to share with everyone and make life better.

2. Keep the beauty in your heart (or what you want to express).

Artistic photography—

With the development, people continue to add artistic elements to photography and begin to produce artistic photography. The difference between it and documentary photography lies in the artistic level, but there is no absolute boundary. For example, let's take a photo as an ID card or leave a souvenir. Generally, the photos taken by the photo studio have at most some information or record value.

However, 50 years later, Mr. Zheng Jingkang's portrait of Mr. Qi Baishi is still one of the 20 best portraits in the world. The difference lies entirely in the artistic level. The effect of artistic photography is more beautiful, because it requires not only technology, but also the time, place and angle of shooting.
