The indication information is used to indicate a placement position and a placement angle of the photographing device. The method includes performing photographing according to the indication information to obtain at least two images. The method includes removing arm part images that are separately included in the at least two images and that are photographed by a user by using the photographing device to obtain at least two remaining images. The method includes stitching the at least two remaining images. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for achieving a non-selfie-taking effect through selfie-taking, wherein the method is applied to a photographing device, and the method comprises: displaying indication information on the photographing device, wherein the indication information indicates a placement position and a placement angle of the photographing device; performing photographing according to the indication information to obtain at least two images; removing parts of the at least two images that include at least a portion of one or more hands or arms of a user to obtain at least two remaining images; and stitching the at least two remaining images. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information comprises first indication information and second indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates the placement position of the photographing device, wherein the second indication information indicates the placement angle of the photographing device, and wherein the placement position of the photographing device comprises one or more of a position aligned with a face of a photographed person, a position aligned with a middle of a forehead of the photographed person, or a position aligned with a nose of the photographed person. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the first indication information is a line segment or a graphic. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising determining that the placement position of the photographing device is achieved when the first indication information is aligned with a specified position of the photographed person. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising determining, according to a first measurement criterion, that placement angles of the photographing device are the same when the photographing device photographs the at least two images. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising determining that the placement position of the photographing device is achieved when the first indication information is aligned with a specified position of the photographed person. ### Claim at position 7 7-10. (canceled) ### Claim 11 A photographing device comprising: a display configured to display indication information, wherein the indication information indicates a placement position and a placement angle of the photographing device; a camera configured to perform photographing according to the indication information to obtain at least two images; and a processor coupled to the display and the camera and configured to: remove parts of the at least two images that include at least a portion of one or more hands or arms of a user to obtain at least two remaining images; and stitch the at least two remaining images. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The photographing device of claim 11, wherein the indication information comprises first indication information and second indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates the placement position of the photographing device, wherein the second indication information indicates the placement angle of the photographing device, and wherein the placement position of the photographing device comprises one or more of a position aligned with a face of a photographed person, a position aligned with a middle of a forehead of the photographed person, or a position aligned with a nose of the photographed person. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The photographing device of claim 12, wherein the first indication information is a line segment or a graphic. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The photographing device of claim 12, further comprising determining that the placement position of the photographing device is achieved when the first indication information is aligned with a specified position of the photographed person. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The photographing device of claim 12, further comprising determining, according to a first measurement criterion, that placement angles of the photographing device are the same when the photographing device photographs the at least two images. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The photographing device of claim 13, further comprising determining that the placement position of the photographing device is achieved when the first indication information is aligned with a specified position of the photographed person. ### Claim 17 A computer-readable storage medium storing at least one instruction that, when executed by a photographing device, cause the photographing device to: display indication information on the photographing device, wherein the indication information indicates a placement position and a placement angle of the photographing device; perform photographing according to the indication information to obtain at least two images; remove parts of the at least two images that include at least a portion of one or more hands or arms of a user to obtain at least two remaining images; and switch the at least two remaining images. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the indication information comprises first indication information and second indication wherein the first indication information indicates the placement position of the photographing device, wherein the second indication information indicates the placement angle of the photographing device, and wherein the placement position of the photographing device comprises one or more of a position aligned with a face of a photographed person, a position aligned with a middle of a forehead of the photographed person, or a position aligned with a nose of the photographed person. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the first indication information is a line segment or a graphic. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, further comprising determining that the placement position of the photographing device is achieved when the first indication information is aligned with a specified position of the photographed person. ### Claim 21 (depends on 18) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, further comprising determining that the placement position of the photographing device is achieved when the first indication information is aligned with a specified position of the photographed person. ### Claim 22 (depends on 18) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, further comprising determining, according to a first measurement criterion, that placement angles of the photographing device are the same when the photographing device photographs the at least two images. ### Claim 23 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the placement position of the photographing device comprises a position aligned with a face of a photographed person. ### Claim 24 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the placement position of the photographing device comprises a position aligned with a middle of a forehead of a photographed person.
