Is taking a photo the same as taking an art photo?

It's actually the same.

Judging from the current business people, there is no difference between these two concepts.

For example, if you walk into a photography studio and tell the clerk that you want to take a photo, an art photo, she will give you the same answer.

But from the concept of photography itself, art photos are actually aimed at ordinary consumers. At first, the word photo was used to describe a form of shooting with more nudity, aimed at some movie stars. Later, some commercial shops also used the word photo to improve the X grid.

The word photo comes from Japanese, which is actually photography, so any photography can be called photo. Portrait is generally defined as nude photography by many people in China, that is, the subject is photographed naked or semi-naked. But photos also belong to the category of artistic photos. It seems that many times a photo is equivalent to an artistic photo. As for art photos, it is very broad. As long as it is a general artistic photo taken by makeup, it can be called an artistic photo whether indoors or outdoors. Artistic photos are generally obviously different from themselves.

Art photos are more artistic, with heavy make-up, exaggerated shapes and more exquisite clothes, and most of them are taken in art booths.

The styles of artistic photos can be divided into pure, dreamy, lively, sexy, avant-garde and unusual ... Of course, some people also divide the styles of artistic photos into Han Feng, European style and ancient costume style. From different angles, the definition of artistic photo style is not the same. ?

The photo is authentic, the makeup is not strong, the shape is not exaggerated, and the clothing is not exaggerated. Most photos are on location. Of course, these general differences have actually been combined and learned from each other. There is not much difference between art photos and photo photos now.
