Generally speaking, the theme is the crystallization of the photographer's thoughts reflected in his works through his observation, experience, analysis and refinement of real life. It reveals the author's state of mind explicitly or implicitly, but the author's understanding of life and ways of expressing the theme are varied, and the same theme can also show different themes. Different people have different opinions and tastes.

The theme is the soul of artistic photography, American photographer A? Faninger said that? If a photo can't be shown to the audience? Talk? And convey interesting meaning to them, it is of no value. For a photographer, the key to a good photo is not the shooting technique itself, but his theme. ? Profound and novel themes can often make works more appealing.

2) The basic requirements of news photography to express the theme.

The concreteness and originality of the theme

Theme ideas are closely combined with vivid, concrete, unique and touching images, which are naturally revealed from news images.

The theme idea is integrated into the concrete news image, and at the same time, it expresses the reporter's unique feelings and understanding, which is original.

L the theme is news.

News photos should be an image interpretation of human life and history, not a simple record of scenes, events or people.

3) Deepen the theme of news photography report.

I use close-up news photos to reveal the reasons and methods.

L adopts the form of special news photography report, and launches the theme from vertical and horizontal aspects, striving to be comprehensive and profound.

L small themes show big themes, and look big from childhood.

L The instant images taken have special social significance, far beyond the phenomenon itself.

L discuss the same news event and the same news fact in many ways to show different themes.

Is the new expression of the old theme innovative? A means.

News photography has its limitations, and the theme should be as simple as possible, rather than imposing a rigid theme.

Third, the theme of news photography

News images of real life extracted and selected from nature and human social life are the basic material and foundation of news images.

The exploration and development of subject matter directly determines the information content and the breadth and depth of ideological content of news pictures.

The relationship between theme and theme is that theme restricts theme relatively, not absolutely.

Big themes often reflect big themes, and small themes can also express big themes. The key lies in the depth of journalists' excavation and the angle of reporting.

News photographers often face the same recurring themes. Only by combining the characteristics of social life in different historical periods and revealing them from different sides and levels can we handle the relationship between themes? Often shoot often new? .

L through the pictures taken to express a kind of knowledge and understanding, convey a kind of information, cause others to think, so as to achieve the purpose of identification and sharing:

4) The difference between documentary photography, social documentary photography and news photography:

News photography attaches great importance to news. In order to realize its news value, news photographic pictures must appear in the media in time to meet readers.

Documentary photography does not have such strong news and timeliness requirements and restrictions.
