The significance of character photography is not only to pay attention to the appearance of the characters themselves. The relationship between character photography and its surroundings is very important. This means that when we think about taking a portrait of a person, we can’t do the same as taking a driver’s license photo. We need to consider the impact of the environment on the model and the model’s response to the environment. This means that the portrait also has a kind of “narrative” in it.

In addition, unlike landscape photography, figure photography has an obvious “focus”. This focus is often on the characters. This means that when the photographer starts shooting, he/she has to find the focus of the picture rather than fumble in the post-processing.

Finally, I think people’s photography must be “captured” rather than posed. Although most of the people’s photography will have some elements of posing, because the look of the model is changing all the time, the photographer needs to “grasp” the subtle changes of the model’s movement and expression in order to take the best effect. Therefore, it is also necessary to “capture” in “pose”
