What are the three elements of photographic portrait?

The three elements of portrait shooting in photography are color matching, composition and light angle. The so-called portrait photography is a form of photography with characters as the main object of creation. Portrait photography is different from ordinary figure photography: the primary creative task of portrait photography is to describe and express the specific appearance and expression of the subject.

The word photography comes from the Greek word Φ φφ_ _ phos (light) and ραφχgraphics (painting and sketch) or ραφ_ graphφ, which together mean "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing a photosensitive medium by using the light emitted or reflected by an object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.
