Beauty photography is a type of photography that entails taking close-up photographs of people in order to accentuate their attractive characteristics for editorial, commercial, or personal goals. Depending on the concept of the shoot, photographers employ their subjects to express a specific emotion to the audience, such as happiness, innocence, or sensuality. Beauty portraits can be interesting from an artistic standpoint or they can be used to promote specific things such as makeup, skincare, hair accessories, or jewelry.
