What does the origin of the word hard photo mean?

Hard photography is a photographic term, which refers to plane photos taken for advertisements and print magazines. Translation into English should be called "hard as".

The expressive force of hard photos is the randomness and freedom when people take photos in front of the mirror, and they don't deliberately cover up the defects of the five senses. This kind of expressiveness means being very confident in yourself. Facing the camera, treat it as an object that can be communicated or confided, so the effect will be very good, which is also called strong expressive force of hard photos.
