Photography is a visual art with strong modernity. Since French Daguerre invented photography in 1839, photography has developed rapidly both technically and aesthetically.

Especially with the development of photography technology, human aesthetic vision has expanded from space to the seabed, from micro to macro. Photography has become one of the main expressive tools of human visual aesthetics and the "third eye" of human beings.

The unique aesthetic characteristics of photography come from the basic characteristics of shooting objects on the spot with cameras and photosensitive materials, which are mainly manifested in the unity of documentary and artistry.

On the one hand, photography directly faces the actual object being photographed, captures vivid and touching moments from the complex and changeable movement of the object, creates artistic images with aesthetic value with the high realism of life in the works, and evokes people's unique aesthetic visual feelings about life phenomena. This is the fundamental aesthetic feature that distinguishes photography from other arts.

On the other hand, because the birth of photographic artistic image is always completed in a short moment when the camera shutter is opened, it not only needs the artist's conscious aesthetic choice, but also has been processed by the artist's photographic modeling means (including composition and light and shadow control). ) is formed on the basis of the organic combination of line, light and shadow and color.

Therefore, the aesthetic expression, generalization and appeal of photography have their particularity.

For example, compared with painting which is also characterized by aesthetic modeling, photography, especially modern photography, has unique advantages of objectivity, truthfulness, quickness and simplicity, which is incomparable to painting.
