Angelababy once became a model of a photography salon when she was 14 years old. What is a photography salon?

the combination of the two terms, salon and photography, was the product of photography activities carried out by the middle and upper classes in society at that time. Besides investing in equipment, it also gathered colleagues to discuss all kinds of photography-related knowledge, which became the origin of various modern photography associations or clubs. Therefore, as the concept of meeting place as a general media, various photography associations or clubs at this time are also a kind of photography salon 3, which is also a replica of art salon in the photography industry.

Photography associations all over the world have played a very important role in the development of photography. Whether it is the promotion of photography art or the development of photography technology, photography association has become the center of all kinds of related information and activities. Photography associations have also begun to compete to hold photography competitions and exhibitions imitating the salon exhibition. Due to the question of the legal status of the art field, photography exhibitions in the 19th century were rarely held in formal galleries, and the opportunity for public display usually appeared in large-scale fairs.

It was not until 1891 that the Vienna Salon Exhibition in Austria accepted photography and selected photography works according to the standards of painting. This is the first salon photography exhibition selected according to artistic standards rather than technical standards. In order to purify the artistry of the photo exhibition, there is no prize in this salon exhibition to avoid the color of commercial competition. Two years later, British serial clubs drew lessons from Vienna Salon's successful attempt to highlight artistry, and held a series of exhibitions called "The Photographic Salon" in the famous Dudley Gallery in London, which was a key measure to make photography independent from traditional painting and art circles in terms of organizational system. Since then, photography salon, as an art exhibition system and form, has gradually developed into an international film festival with extensive participation.
