Why do models learn photography?

Successful print advertising works can often make the audience unforgettable and achieve the purpose of publicity. Print advertising works are closely related to photographers, makeup artists and backstage production.

The airplane model is different from our common runway model. Graphic models are mainly based on personal portraits and shapes, and photographers use them to create graphic works.
