Analysis of Documentary Photography Works

Black and white is low-key, a heavy feeling, which is the overall atmosphere of the work. Give the viewer a sense of visual oppression.

The theme of the first work is this child, a delicate-looking child, but there is a kind of sadness in her eyes, a kind of sadness that should not belong to a child of this age, and holding her is a rescuer's helmet, which shows that the creative background of this work was shot at the scene of the disaster. The element of hand also appeared in the second painting. The difference is that these are the hands of two weather-beaten old people. Wrinkles and gullies on the hands, including broken nails, indicate that these two hands have experienced various kinds of work. In order to make a living, these two hands look older and more vicissitudes. Moreover, it is obviously the hands of two old ladies.

You can tell by the silver ornaments on their wrists. The concrete floor under their feet also exposed their living environment, which was dark and damp. The water stains on the ground are still faintly visible. The cracks in the floor keep pouring out moisture. There are many black elements on the old people's hands, and their nails are polished and even bruised, indicating that they are engaged in jobs that have nothing to do with their brains, that is, manual labor, or digging coal in coal yards, or sorting out minerals. In a word, this is a labor-intensive job. Both works are talked about. The first picture is about children, and the second picture is about old people. Their hands reveal a message that no matter what era, there are factors that threaten human survival. Whether this factor is sudden (the first picture) or gradual (the second picture of long-term unhealthy work).
