The creative style of Kanpai photography

As far as their aesthetic thoughts and creative tendencies are concerned, the situation of "Kan" photographers is more complicated. Although they advocate the expression of human nature, most of them are engaged in news photography, but there are also naturalists and realists.

The work that gave birth to this genre was 1893 photographer Alfred Stig's Winter on Fifth Avenue, which was really completed by German photographer Dr. ehrlich salomon. He shot the Rome political conference with a small camera at the end of a night meeting held by the German and French prime ministers, which became a classic in the history of this genre of photography because of its vividness, truthfulness, simplicity and naturalness.

In photography aesthetics, they believe that "a photo based on the basic characteristics of photography cannot be imitated by painters or etchers." It has its own inseparable self, has its own special expressive force, and even has characteristics that other media can't show. " Secondly, for the expression of objective things, they attach importance to and emphasize originality, thinking: "(Photographers should see the world with their own eyes, not through other people's eyes, and this is the standard to distinguish whether photos are mediocre or brilliant, valuable or worthless."

The famous photographers of this school are Thomas Dau Weil Mai Aboy of the United States; Park Jung Su Modal in Britain; Victor Huffman and Bresson of France; Solomon of Germany. There are Louis Dahl Wolff, Peter Starkpier Bruvic and so on.
