The gap between artistic photos and real people

Art photos, as the name implies, are art photos. Not only do people have to make up, but they also have to modify their appearance after taking pictures, even at the expense of replacing their bodies, leaving only their original faces. In addition, they have to replace the original background, replace or create more beautiful scenery.

"Portrait", originally meant to draw portraits of people in Chinese, is the traditional name of figure painting in China. Painting and writing a portrait as if it requires simplicity in form and spirit is called "portrait" Du Fu's poem "Dan Qing presents General Cao": "The general is good at painting to cover the gods, and what he shows is not just the horse, but the life of a good man." Today's popular "photos" are borrowed from Japanese. In Japanese, "photo" has two meanings. One is "photography" and the other is "photos". A photo studio in Japan is called a photo studio. After the unprofessional interpretation of some stars, the concept of "photo" has become blurred, and the concept planted for most people is that photo is equal to nudity or semi-nudity, or at best, human photography. When the openness of thought and dress is integrated into the photography art, China people also begin to contact the western body art, but although photographers clearly know what the connotation of photos is, the extension of photos is understood by laymen who don't understand art in various ways.

The exact time when the "photo album" was introduced into China cannot be verified. When most citizens first came into contact with this word in an interview, it represented a stain in the entertainment circle-shooting an "album" was similar to shooting a third-grade film.
