Interpreting the Life of Commercial Portrait Photography

Great portrait photography is great because it depicts the souls of characters, because it eulogizes the greatness of life, because it records the spiritual outlook of an era, and because it records the joys and sorrows of human society.

From the individual point of view, great portrait photography profoundly records the inner world of the characters, whether sad or happy, or thinking or shouting. It is precisely because it presents the inner world of the characters that such photographic works give people a spiritual shock. At the same time eulogize the preciousness and greatness of life. In the face of such works, every audience will be proud of having life.

From the overall situation of human society, great portrait photography records the mental outlook of people in an era and the great joys and sorrows of human society. The significance of great portrait photography has completely surpassed the significance of ordinary portraits. It is a symbol of society, times and history. In this sense, the significance of portrait photography is far more than the publicity of the photographer's memory and personality.
