In rural areas, "free photos" are given to the elderly. What do they earn?

In the past two years, many people in our village have taken pictures of people over 60 years old. Basically, someone drives a van every afternoon, and then there is a loudspeaker on the roof that keeps playing advertising slogans. The content is roughly that all elderly people over 60 can take pictures here for free, and they also promise not to charge a penny. At the beginning, people basically went to see it every day, and some of them were very excited and couldn't help but take pictures. However, there is still a charge after taking pictures. Why is this? Is it a lie?

These manufacturers are not cheating, taking photos is absolutely free, but developing photos costs money. When photos are developed, the charges for photos of different sizes are different. In addition, the quality of photo frames is different, and the charges are different. So they did take photos for free, but only charged part of the cost of the photo frame.

I have to say that the photography technology of these manufacturers is still very powerful, and the photos processed are very tall. Because they use PS technology, except the face is their own, the others are not their own. It will surprise you when you see your photo, and you can't believe it's yourself. For example, I ask you to wear a suit and tie to climb the Great Wall immediately, visit the Forbidden City with my husband and wife happily, and let you take photos in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. It is also because their photography skills are very good, which makes people who face the loess and face the sky suddenly tall, so the people who are photographed will be moved, even if they charge a certain fee, they are willing.

People in rural areas also have different views on free photo taking and charging for photo frames. Some people think that they are good at taking photos, taking photos for free and then selling photo frames, which is understandable. However, some people say that the price of photo frames is too expensive, and the ten-dollar photo frames are tens of dollars here, which is a bit of a loss. If the price is cheaper, it is still acceptable. After all, everyone wants to leave some beautiful photos as a souvenir.

I guess everyone should understand. These vendors who drive to the countryside to take free photos of the elderly over 60 still earn money. Photo frames, developing photos and repairing old photos are all sources of income.
