What is the significance of taking pictures?

In this regard, I want to talk about my feelings and views:

When I got married, I had no money and no money to take pictures. For more than ten years, my wife has been obsessed with this letter and said that she must make it up. I think photography is an objective record, which can't make up for the lost youth and face. But we should truly record the image of the whole family now, so that when we look back in the future, we can see the footprints of time.

My wife and daughter are carefully choosing clothes and makeup. I just washed my face, shaved and combed my hair, and then I went out with them.

When I arrived at the photo studio, I found that all the women who took pictures were dressed like brides and all the men were like young masters. I didn't want to do this at first, but my wife and daughter didn't want to, and the makeup artist also said, it's no good taking pictures like you do now. ? So I said:? Whatever. ?

The makeup artist is very careful. She not only covered a small mole on my mouth with color, but also made several wrinkles around my eyes disappear. The suit I am wearing is very white, but it is made of very ordinary linen; The leather shoes on my feet are very bright, but they are artificial leather; I can't wear glasses, only beautiful glasses frames; Even the beautiful bow tie around the neck is made of coarse cloth. I spent two hours putting on makeup. When I came out, I saw that my wife was much more beautiful, as if I were eighteen again. Daughters also look sweeter, like children in oil paintings. But I think they are a little different from themselves. Look in the mirror, ah, have I become like this? Prince charming? ! I'm very unhappy about it, my wife said. You people are always different from normal people. Today, even if you don't want to, you should stay with me and my children. ?

The three of us sat on the luxurious sofa. There are telephones, flowers and other decorations in front of the sofa, followed by beautiful scenery, and a row of bookshelves with thick ancient books on them. Our position, posture, direction, how low our head is, where our hands are, and facial expressions are all designed by photographers. Finally, all the lights were turned on. After repeated adjustments, the photographer said? Don't move, don't move? While looking for the angle with the camera on, after a minute or two, I only heard two clicks. A happy one? Family photo? It was recorded.

Then I went to that row of bookshelves, and all I saw were fake books made of paper shells. I think it's fake. Not just props. Taking pictures here is equivalent to taking pictures in your own study. Although it's a bit exaggerated, I'm still a scholar, so this is a true record. However, I found that this row of bookshelves is a photo spot, and everyone who comes in should take photos here just like our whole family just now. That's weird. Isn't everyone now? Culture? Yes! I muttered in my mind.

I thought people took pictures to see their true selves and record their true selves and real lives. But through this photo shoot, I found that the whole photo shoot was a fake process, and the photo studio was a fake factory. People don't want to see their real selves and their real lives, but their ideal selves and their ideal lives. This can be said to be a manifestation of human pursuit of perfection, and it can also be said to be a phenomenon that human beings are obsessed with pseudo-nature.

If you say that this photo looks like you, it can't interest the other person. If you say that your photo is beautiful, whether it is true or not, the excitement of the other person will overflow immediately, which shows that in order to see the false self and the false life, this is the fundamental reason why people like to take pictures!
