Classification of ink and wash style photography

Since it is an imitation of Chinese painting, its classification can also learn from the classification of Chinese painting. According to the subject matter, it is divided into landscape photography with ink style and flowers and birds with ink style; According to the style of photos, they can be divided into freehand brushwork and realism. As shown in the picture on the right, it is the work of photographer Lang Jingshan, "Huating into Cuiwei". This is a typical landscape photography in ink and wash style. Photographers use multiple exposure technology to combine distant mountains with nearby pavilions and add white clouds in front of the picture, making the whole scene like a fairyland.

Ink landscape photography is born out of China landscape painting, emphasizing the combination of reality and reality. Ordinary photographers like to shoot the sea of clouds, because the sea of clouds itself has the taste of Chinese painting. As shown on the left, it is a part of the unfinished work "Song of Autumn" by young photographers. The work is a traditional flower-and-bird painting style in China. By shooting a pole of bamboo, it shows the desolation of bamboo in early autumn.

Compared with the landscape works in ink and wash style, the theme of flowers and birds pays more attention to the choice of shooting objects and angles. Because pictures are subtle things. The blank background of the picture tests the photographer's framing ability. If you use photoshop to edit pictures later, the effect is often unreal; However, it is unrealistic to put white cloth behind plants in most cases. Therefore, experienced photographers usually use a cleaner background in nature, and they can get good results with a little treatment later.
