Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro are designed for portrait photography. This is the main feature of smartphones and especially for them, the cult Parisian photo studio Harcourt took part in the creation of three unique software modes: Vibrant, Color and Classic.
Harcourt is one of the oldest and most famous photo studios in the world. It has existed for over 80 years and has in its portfolio works with world-famous cultural figures, stars of modern culture and prominent politicians. Salvador Dali, Marlene Dietrich, Alain Delon and other easily recognizable personalities were photographed in Harcourt.
The studio has given the Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro smartphones their most remarkable photo filters, which are worth telling about in more detail:
▪️ Bright – the difference between light and shadow to emphasize the image. In this mode, portraits turn out impressive and three-dimensional.

▪️ Color – gives a warmer and more contrasting image with a clear light and shadow pattern.

▪️ Classical – Harcourt’s signature black and white filter. The focus is on the subject, its strengths and character.

The three photos above were taken with the Honor 200 Pro using software modes from Harcourt during the day, without studio lighting, without staging and without tripods.
Personally, I was simply impressed by the result. So only people shot further and only using these filters:

Of course, if you want to get the most out of the camera, you can adjust the degree of blur of the rear light, turn on the super macro or panoramic shooting mode, and for those who are especially looking for it, there is the option of manually adjusting the settings and exposure.
But after playing with all the hardware settings, you still come back to portrait photography. There is no need to configure anything here, just take pictures with cool filters and then brag about the effect on social networks.
