What do you mean by close-up photos?

Close-range shooting is subdivision shooting, taking a certain part of human body and a certain part of objects as the shooting object, and the background is in a secondary position. Sometimes the subject of photography fills the whole picture and the background disappears.

Close-ups were first used in movies, created and used by David Griffith, an early American film director. In UnhangingSea of 19 10, Griffith has been able to skillfully use the classic focal plane: panoramic-middle-close-up/close-up, which is several steps ahead of the filmmakers of the same period.

Close-ups put the subject in the picture, and the outline and expression of the subject are clearly and densely exposed in the lens, especially when depicting a certain part of the character image, which can highlight the unique and individual beauty of that part.

For example, facial expressions that can reflect emotions, sexy lips, slender hands and so on. Because of this, close-up is also a way for photographers to portray models in fashion photography.
