Why are some people good-looking and the photos taken are really ugly?

This is related to the angle, posture and light of the photo.

1, angle: shooting angle includes shooting height, shooting direction and shooting distance. There are three shooting heights: flat shot, over shot and over shot. The shooting direction is divided into front angle, side angle, oblique angle and back angle. Shooting distance is one of the factors that determine the scenery. These are collectively called geometric angles. There are also psychological angles, subjective angles, objective angles and subjective and objective angles. Choosing and determining the shooting angle at the shooting scene is the photographer's key work. Different angles can get different modeling effects and have different performance functions. Angle can be reproduced on the spot or exaggerated, which has special significance. The angle is wrong, the thin man looks fat.

2, posture: posture is very important, pay attention to the face and chest, waist, not in a plane, so the photos taken are very serious, generally more suitable for ID photos, if a person's chin is relatively large, you can take it down, which can effectively avoid hitting the chin. It's not nice to use a backhand with a big chin.

3, light: if a person's outline is better, you can illuminate from the side of the light source, so that you can better show the individual's outline lines through light irradiation. It's best not to use backlight in photography, or a good-looking face will look terrible.
