The background of a photo plays an important role in how the photo will look. It may or may not be beautiful, depending on many parts of your background. Lighting, composition, and landscape will greatly affect whether your photo will look harmonious and balanced, confused,\u00a0 or not suitable for the subject. Besides, the background of the photo will also depend on the style you shoot to be able to focus on the main subject of the photo. It can be a portrait, artwork, or even a card photo.
