A prompting method for photographing, comprising: obtaining (S101) a target state characteristic of a target photographed subject in a current framing interface of a terminal; determining (S102) a target voice prompt message corresponding to the target state characteristic, comprising: determining (S401) the preset age range to which the age of each target photographed subject belongs, in an event that there are a plurality of target photographed subjects; selecting (S402) one of a plurality of preset age ranges as the target age range according to a predetermined rule that comprises: counting the number of times target photographed subjects in each preset age range are present in the current framing interface; and selecting the preset age range with the greatest number as the target age range; determining (S202) the target voice prompt message corresponding to the selected preset age range based on a corresponding relationship between preset age ranges and preset voice prompt messages; outputting (S501) the target voice prompt message; and/or outputting (S502) a shooting start command at the start of outputting the target voice prompt message; and/or outputting (S503) a shooting stop command at the end of outputting the target voice prompt message. obtaining (S101) a target state characteristic of a target photographed subject in a current framing interface of a terminal; determining (S102) a target voice prompt message corresponding to the target state characteristic, comprising: determining (S401) the preset age range to which the age of each target photographed subject belongs, in an event that there are a plurality of target photographed subjects; selecting (S402) one of a plurality of preset age ranges as the target age range according to a predetermined rule that comprises: counting the number of times target photographed subjects in each preset age range are present in the current framing interface; and selecting the preset age range with the greatest number as the target age range; determining (S202) the target voice prompt message corresponding to the selected preset age range based on a corresponding relationship between preset age ranges and preset voice prompt messages; outputting (S501) the target voice prompt message; and/or outputting (S502) a shooting start command at the start of outputting the target voice prompt message; and/or determining (S401) the preset age range to which the age of each target photographed subject belongs, in an event that there are a plurality of target photographed subjects; selecting (S402) one of a plurality of preset age ranges as the target age range according to a predetermined rule that comprises: counting the number of times target photographed subjects in each preset age range are present in the current framing interface; and selecting the preset age range with the greatest number as the target age range; determining (S202) the target voice prompt message corresponding to the selected preset age range based on a corresponding relationship between preset age ranges and preset voice prompt messages; outputting (S501) the target voice prompt message; and/or outputting (S502) a shooting start command at the start of outputting the target voice prompt message; and/or outputting (S503) a shooting stop command at the end of outputting the target voice prompt message. <EOS>
