What does new topographic photography mean?

First of all, neogeomorphology refers to a kind of knowledge of topographic investigation and research by means of scientific investigation. The application of this scientific term in photographic expression means that photographers treat the scenery in front of them in a new way and attitude. The photographer's basic attitude is not emotional display, but trying to eliminate emotional factors, objectively examining with a neutral line of sight, and calmly displaying. The photographer of "New Topography" treats the nature of experimental specimens with a rational attitude, excludes emotional intervention in shooting, calmly and rationally depicts the face of nature, accurately records the present situation of natural ecology and the conflict between nature and culture, exposes the destruction and plunder of nature by human beings, prompts the interactive relationship between man and nature and its consequences, and provides an opportunity to reflect on the attitude between man and nature. However, the more neutral the description, the more shocking the destruction caused by human selfishness under this calm description. Therefore, this kind of landscape is also called "critical landscape", which is a further deepening of the documentary photography of "social landscape" in the 1960s. At the same time, it also overlaps with new color photography in some aspects.
