Description

  The present invention relates to a specialized photographing apparatus, and specifically to a portable specialized smart photographing apparatus.

  Conventionally, commercially available photography products are simply photography equipment. Smart photographing devices and systems are not applied in real life.

  The conventional photographing apparatus cannot satisfy the reliable self photographing function and the mutual photographing function when the photographing space is wide. Digital photo booths can only shoot half-body photos in a narrow range, and cannot achieve professional person photography or product photography for advertising.

  In the field of specialized photography, since the level of specialized photography technology as a photographer is relatively high, the training cycle of photographers continues for a long time. In addition, requesting only the photographing apparatus itself cannot satisfy the demand for specialized photographing. So far, photography organizations are highly dependent on specialized human resources, and the rising rate of human resources has already affected the survival and development of photographers.

  In addition, the regional economic development capacity is not balanced, which hinders the transfer of high-level photographers to some of the top cities. Most high-level photographers are concentrated in big cities, and the ability to shoot in local cities becomes weak, leading to an imbalance in the development of the entire photography industry.

  The e-commerce industry is developing rapidly, and in 2011, sales from the e-commerce industry in China range will reach RMB5.88 billion.
