Photographic fascinating video

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for people to own cameras, but at the moment you press the shutter, have you ever thought about the significance of photography? Some people say that photography is the handprint of civilization, and I quite agree with this metaphor. Because as soon as it appeared, it was deeply branded as a "civilian". Although photography has been a "toy" of the rich for a long time, it has aristocratic lineage, but its bold and unconstrained character in its bones determines that it will eventually "run away from home" to fight and find its position and role in the changing world. It caters to the mainstream direction of contemporary civilization progress and has strong vitality. But sometimes, when you see some photos, it seems that you have been hit by a ruthless bullet, and the invisible blood flows mercilessly, so you can't help but groan. At this point, you don't feel a little happy, but you feel a heavy pressure on you. Photography faces two choices at this time. One is artistic, and the other is documentary. Photographers are also faced with a kind of confusion, a kind of thinking and a kind of pain. Is photography regarded as a kind of personal catharsis, just like a writer's pen that climbs the grid? Or is it pure artistic creation, such as a colored brush in the hand of a painter? Or, use it as a weapon? Scalpel? Maybe it has diversity. Just as literature has a beautiful and soft side, it also has a side full of strength and blood and tears. But what is the main significance of photography? What is the most fascinating part of its charm? Photography is an instantaneous freeze of real images, which is doomed to be fundamentally different from other arts. Photography is the moment that determines eternity. A photographer will eventually get old and die, but the meaningful photos he takes may never disappear, but will last forever. And the story after the photo may deeply touch generations. The charm of photography lies in its truth and its moment. The story behind the photo, the thinking after the moment. This is the greatness of the photographer and the responsibility of the photographer. To find the universal meaning contained in photos, and the real universal meaning is sincerity and kindness that can touch people's hearts; That heartache, that sympathetic sigh; That kind of sad anger, that kind of wordless moving. If you can find that universal meaning with a camera, then you are a photographer. No matter what kind of camera you use, no matter whether you shoot artistically or not. As long as your heart is looking for it, you are a photographer. This is the meaning of photography!
