Features: In the field of photography, portrait photography is a very broad and important aspect. In daily life, few people dislike being in photos. After the invention of photography in 1839, many portraits began to appear on Daguerre's silver-plated copper plates. Over the past 100 years, how many portrait photos have been created is truly incalculable. There are mainly two methods for taking portraits: candid shots and posed shots. Whether it's better to "capture" or to "pose" is an old debate that has persisted for a long time and is still being argued today.
