Abstract

The aesthetic appeal of the subject in fashion photography is a significant part of the organisation of fashion photography. In this research, the objective is to examine the correlation between fashion photography and facial aesthetics, with a particular emphasis on the influence of certain human facial features on the formation of poses. This research seeks to detail the design methodologies used to convey physical appeal, imitation, and reinforcement in the context of fashion photography. Fashion photographers can take great photos of models with different face shapes by knowing these tricks and important aspects of physical appeal. This will lead to good-looking poses in fashion photography. Ultimately, fashion photographers can create visually appealing fashion photography poses by making smart decisions about how to capture and emphasise models with various facial structures, based on an understanding of this approach and the prominent physical beauty features, combined with studio photography equipment and techniques involving various technical photography tools. These choices will be very beneficial in the development of module guidelines and production for fashion photographers in the fashion photography industry. New perspectives and innovative ideas will be offered to emphasise the distinctive facial features documented in fashion photography.
