What are the shooting techniques of structural photographer Moholi?

Laszlo Laszlomoholy-Nagy (1895 ~1946) is known as the master of structuralism in the history of photography. He often uses different shooting angles, such as shooting up, shooting down, compressing the field of vision, tilting the composition and so on. , the structural form of the photographic picture will be brought to the extreme.

Moholi Nagy was born in Hungary. He studied law in his early years and became interested in painting. 1922, Mohori-Naji began to carry out photography experiments with abstract techniques. He put all kinds of objects between light and photographic paper and obtained photos through exposure. This kind of photo is called "object shadow photo" and was obtained without a camera.

1923, Mohori-Naji was hired as a professor at Bauhaus Art Institute in Germany and served as the director of metal studio. Bauhaus is the most influential art school in the 20th century. Among its teachers, there are many famous artists at that time, besides Moholinaji, there are also Paul? Klee, Vassili? Leno, Kandinsky? Faninger, etc. While other schools are still painting classical plaster statues, Bauhaus teachers and students have begun to study the problems of industrial production.

During the Bauhaus period, Moholi-Naji began a series of photographic experiments with cameras. The experimental content includes shooting from special angles (looking down, looking up and diagonal perspective), which breaks the general perspective law. In addition, he also used various editing methods and production techniques to change and strengthen the structure of photos.

In teaching, Moholi-Naji teaches students to observe and think, and grasp the relationship between formal elements such as lines, colors and space. This teaching method urges students to study the surrounding objects carefully and find out the forms and designs that are not noticed by people. He also encourages students to use projected shapes to make them a factor in arranging pictures.
