Tang Jun, the former president of Microsoft China, claimed to have invented the prototype of the sticker. He claimed that he had sold the patent to Japan for $500,000. However, according to some data, the actual inventor of the photo sticker is Japanese Miho Sasaki. Miss Miki Sasaki is called "the mother of printing" because she developed this idea, because Miss Miki Sasaki likes all kinds of stickers. Although the original idea was born in women, the actual R&D and production were done by male programmers, which led to the idea of combining photography with stickers. Subsequently, the printer "printing club" blew a whirlwind of "snapping up" in Japan. After the popularization of Atlas, SNK, Taitung, Epoch, Make Sofare, Hitachi and other manufacturers have successively shared this market pie, developed and improved various styles of pasting machines, which triggered competition in the same industry and spread to Taiwan Province Province, Chinese mainland, South Korea and all over the world. In the 1990s, photo stickers became popular all over the country. Around 2000, the whole body paste appeared, which can pat the whole body, breaking through the limitation that the big head paste can only pat the head. From 20 10, a special effect camera appeared on the basis of full-body stickers, which is very convenient and cool to shoot and can be shot all over the world. In 20 12 years, on the basis of the development of special effects cameras, there appeared entertainment-level * * * halls such as Happy Elf, Music Beat, Click Click, * * * *! Popular development At present, photo stickers have become popular among young people and become a fashion!

Stickers can be attached to wallets, mobile phones, greeting cards, notebooks and other items. Young fashionistas are eager for this, and even regard "stickers" as the representative of their own image, which is likely to replace signatures. Fashion also has unlimited business opportunities. Many small photo studios have mushroomed in the streets and shopping centers of many cities, and most of them are very prosperous. The investment in taking pictures is not big, and the minimum is several thousand yuan. If properly managed and rewarded, it is an excellent way for young people to invest and start businesses.

The color of clothes is particularly important when taking pictures. It is best not to wear red, green and yellow clothes. The photo system of photo stickers is very sensitive to light, so try to wear light-colored clothes when taking photos of photo stickers to avoid color difference and affect people's faces. 2. The choice of the gallery has an impact on the photo pasting effect, and the gallery with key images will show your beautiful face well. Dream Gallery has a good effect of concealment and leisure. If people think their image is average, they'd better choose Dream Gallery. There is a certain time delay in how the photo machine poses, so don't press the shoot button immediately when posing, just stop for a while. Wait for the screen image to stop before shooting. Only in this way can we take a clear big picture. 4. The choice of angle should take the depression angle, that is, the angle oblique to the lens, about 30 degrees to 45 degrees, and the face is under the lens.
