Why do Emerson's photographs attract people's attention?

1882, Emerson became interested in photography and took many simple photos: a land composed of mist, water and a flat horizon, dotted with fishermen, boatmen, reed cutters and short farmers. These photographs about rural scenery and farmers' life, like a fresh air, blew into the photography salon at that time and attracted people's attention. From then on, Emerson began to be active all over Britain and became a celebrity in photography.
