What do you mean by posing?

Posing means deliberately arranging the scene so that the characters can pose for shooting.

Posture refers to the process that the photographer creates a certain environment, designs a certain plot, lets the photographer perform and finally shoots according to his own ideas. In this process, photographers often act as directors. Posture photography is often an important means of photography creation.

After the beginning of the new era, the ideological front stresses seeking truth from facts, and the photography circle begins to belittle posing, even being almost completely denied. After entering the 1990s, with the diversified development of culture and art, posing has been duly affirmed. But today, with the prevalence of utilitarian consciousness, posing seems to have gone astray again. There are better lighting, composition, more beautiful background, more beautiful models and more dramatic plots.

Disadvantages of posing

The expression of posing is rough, simple in thinking and lacking in imagination. Many movie friends don't really understand the benefits of posing. They just shoot for the sake of photography and pose for the sake of posing. The photographed works can be captured in real life, and there is no better lighting, composition and dynamic effect than the captured works.

Their expressions are also extremely simple, and their logic is always so simple: all wedding dresses are beautiful, all poverty is simple, and all strangeness is innovation; Take pictures of small bridges and flowing water, have a girl parasol, take pictures of rural scenery, and have scalpers and old farmers; They can set fire to smoke in order to shoot clouds and dress up in disguise in order to shoot folk customs. Of course, I also heard that in order to shoot a funeral, some people let the dead be reburied. This is a moral issue, which is not discussed in this article.
