Appreciation of the Name of Portrait Photography _ Four Artistic Realms of Portrait Photography The four artistic realms of Portrait Photography are one of the most important fields in photography, and also one of the photography fields that can best reflect the photographer's artistic realm. In my humble opinion, the artistic realm of portrait photography can be summarized into four levels: pleasing to the eye, lifelike, publicizing personality and interpreting life.

First, pleasing to the eye is the basic requirement for portrait photography by the general public, including ordinary photographers. Whether it is a business photo, a family photo, a news photo or even a photo involved in any photography territory, whether it is the subject, photographer or viewer, as long as there is no special purpose, they all hope to see a pleasing photo and make the audience and the audience happy physically and mentally, which is one of the most important goals of any art form.

First of all, pleasing to the eye has become the common goal of commercial photographers and customers.

The development of modern photography has technically solved many problems that previous photographers were difficult or unable to solve, thus achieving a pleasing realm relatively easily. Used for commercial photography. In this realm, portrait photography works not only need the photographer's own quality, but also depend on some objective factors, such as excellent makeup artist, beautiful clothes, exquisite props, high-grade photographic equipment, advanced lighting, advanced equipment studio, advanced photo post-processing system, exquisite mounting and careful editing planning.

For the field of portrait photography, the biggest defect is the excessive intervention of non-photographic ontology language and the desalination of photographic ontology language. The so-called photographic ontology language is the unique expression means of photographic technology and art, including the use of film, the control of exposure, the management of photographic light, the construction of maps and so on.

Non-photographic language mainly refers to non-photographic means of expression that originally played an auxiliary role in photography, such as makeup, costumes, props and so on.

In these portrait photography, the photographic ontology language is generally diluted, and most of the few remaining photographic ontology languages have become a fixed pattern and routine, and even distorted. For example, in terms of light consumption, in order to cater to the tastes of the public, more front light and soft light are used; In terms of exposure, overexposure is often used to make the skin appear whiter.

But all this is for the customer, and there is nothing wrong with it. Pleasure is to make customers and the general public feel physically and mentally happy. Therefore, this portrait photography itself is an important part of photography, and it is this pleasing photography that attracts thousands of people to the studio and becomes an important economic pillar for the development of photography art in China, especially amateur photography art.

Since photographic works have the ability to attract the public, it shows that photographic works have the ability to guide the public's aesthetic tendency.

Commercial portrait photography represented by pleasing to the eye has been popular for ten years, and the aesthetic tendency of the public has been quietly changing.

Moreover, in recent years, with the outstanding contribution of a group of young photographers with great artistic expression to commercial photography, the current portrait photography is showing a booming trend.

Second, the emergence of realistic photography makes people reproduce? Similar? The problem becomes easy, and the development of contemporary portrait photography seems to be out of this development direction. In particular, the current popular business portraits are less and less like themselves, and the distance from life is even more distant. Of course, the vividness here is more than simple? Similar? But on the basis of pleasing to the eye. Portrait photography in this realm generally has the following main characteristics: 1: Correct use of photographic ontology language and non-photographic ontology language. The use of photographic noumenon language is not simply based on whether it is pleasing to the eye, but on whether it can express the expression characteristics of characters. Natural and elegant lighting, accurate exposure, reflecting normal skin color and texture. Cosmetic props should not be too ostentatious and grandstanding. The purpose of makeup is to hide something from time to time, not to set it off. Props are just decorations, not expressions.

2. Capturing subtle expressions and shaping eyes' expressions is the eternal theme of photographers, and it is also the key to whether a portrait photography can be lifelike.

In the feminine contemporary portrait photography, it should be said that it is very good at this point.

There is a lack in the shaping of eyes.

This is mainly due to the dim light used in photography. The high profile created by the soft light on the front makes it difficult to highlight the eyes. Therefore, using light to express the characters' eyes is the key to achieve this state in portrait works.

Third, the publicity of personality in portrait photography can be divided into two aspects, one is to publicize the personality of the subject, and the other is to publicize the personality of the photographer.

From the photographer's point of view, the purpose of taking portraits is nothing more than to remember, appreciate and show their personality charm. From this perspective, the photographer is helping the subject to show his personality charm. From the photographer's point of view, as a creator of works of art, he should express his photography creativity by means of photography and with the help of the performance ability of models, to reflect his photography style, and even to tell his true understanding of life through photography language. Portrait photography in this realm usually has the following characteristics: 1: unique photography language. In terms of the use of photographic language, the use of photographic language in the first realm portrait photography is generally dull, the use of photographic language in the second realm portrait photography tends to be natural, and the use of photographic language in the third realm photography focuses on highlighting.

Light is the most unique ontological language of photography.

For example, Mo Xie's Two Sisters in the Opposite Shadow skillfully uses shadows to create a wonderful illusion, which is unforgettable. Another example is Zhu Enguang's saint Colin? Thomas's "A glimmer of light", Saab? Alexandra Sutton's purity and so on. The beauty of photography noumenon language is vividly reflected.

2. Unique and concise drama plot such as Adler? In Mousavi's Shadow of Life, the man and woman in the picture tell an intriguing story in the light and shadow effect painstakingly managed by the photographer.

It's not a TV series, but it seems to say more than a TV series. Of course, this work is also unique in lighting and composition.

3. Show a unique understanding of the relationship between man and nature. Pure portrait photography may not include nature, but in this special era of environmental crisis, many photographers aim at nature and the relationship between man and nature. Or enthusiastic eulogy, or sharp criticism.

Whether it's Carl? Cowley's Man and the Sun and Yi's Man and the Sun both express the desire for the integration of man and nature.

4. Strong visual impact Whether it is clever light and shadow, clever composition or innovative and bold lens operation, its purpose is to produce strong visual effects.

Publicizing the subject's personality is to make people look unique and dramatic like photographs.

The publicity of the photographer's personality should show his understanding of photography, the subject, portrait photography and even life through his own personalized photography language, so in a sense, photography is the photographer's silent confession.

Four. The great portrait photography that explains life is great because it depicts the soul of the characters, because it eulogizes the greatness of life, because it records the spiritual outlook of an era, and because it records the great joys and sorrows of human society.

From the individual point of view, great portrait photography profoundly records the inner world of the characters, whether sad or happy, or thinking or shouting. It is precisely because it presents the inner world of the characters that such photographic works give people a spiritual shock. At the same time eulogize the preciousness and greatness of life. In the face of such works, every audience will be proud of having life.

From the overall situation of human society, great portrait photography records the mental outlook of people in an era and the great joys and sorrows of human society. The significance of great portrait photography has completely surpassed the significance of ordinary portraits. It is a symbol of society, times and history. In this sense, the significance of portrait photography is far more than the publicity of the photographer's memory and personality.

Great portrait photography usually has the following characteristics. 1: Strong emotional shock 2. Reflect the value of life, eulogize the greatness of life 3. Reflect the joys and sorrows of human society 4. Reflect the special personality charm of the subject 5. Fade the language of photography, such as the "little girl with big eyes" in Jie Hailong Hope Project series photos, because it captures the eager eyes of out-of-school children and carries the hopes of countless out-of-school children, and she shocked countless people.

For example, Martin, a Hungarian photographer admired by Bresson? Monkasi's photo of "three black children running to Congress" made all observers realize the preciousness and greatness of life, although they didn't even see the faces of the three protagonists.

The positive spirit of human society shown in this photographic work may make the viewer unforgettable all his life.

Another example is the shooting of Churchill by Halsman. His cold face and sharp eyes all show the inner world of this iron-fisted politician, which is also the spiritual symbol of that unforgettable era. And his Einstein has almost become a representative symbol of science.

It is said that Einstein was lost in meditation on the Hiroshima explosion when he took this photo. It can be seen that there is a heavy sadness in Einstein's wise eyes, which is also the most touching place of this photo. Of course, the success of these two photos is not unrelated to the special personality charm of the subjects. These great photographs all seem to have a common feature, that is, the language of photography tends to be dull.

The above analysis of the artistic realm of portrait photography is not a simple judgment of portrait photography, and it is difficult to clearly define which realm specific photography belongs to.

However, any kind of portrait photography can achieve the purpose of letting observers enjoy art, just experiencing different things.

Appreciation of Portrait Photography _ Appreciation of Photographic Works Appreciation of Photographic Works The light exposure of the main characters in this work is relatively moderate, while taking into account the dark exposure, making the overall exposure of the characters more harmonious. Although some details were lost in the highlights of the characters, the outline of the characters was successfully portrayed, which became the finishing touch. The background was overexposed, the main body was submerged in the background a little, and the background was not blurred, which made the white clouds trees too bright. It looks a bit awkward, because the scenery outside the characters takes up a lot of space, but the overall exposure of the photo seems to be moderate, the capture time is just right, and the girl's frozen facial expressions and movements are captured in time, and the background is not bad, giving the viewer a strong sense of hierarchy. At the same time, the expression of static beauty is implicit, but the static in the photo reveals the dynamic beauty. The combination of static and dynamic makes the picture more connotative and more prominent.

If you can use photometry or telephoto shooting, the effect may be better, the outdoor light is stronger, and you should focus properly, so as to create a textured photo and enhance the visual impact.

The photographer's angle should be adjusted. The angle of this photo makes the subject more prominent, but it makes the picture uneven and makes the characters a bit monotonous. If you choose to shoot from bottom to top, you can make the three-dimensional sense more sufficient and give the viewer another artistic conception. Judging from the exposure alone, this photo is good. The photographic language uses a higher shutter to quickly and successfully solidify the movements of the characters. White clouds and girls' hair are a dynamic trend. If the focal length can be adjusted so that the proportion of girls in the photo is moderate and backward, the background will be obviously blurred, the girl's limbs can be fully displayed, the picture will be fuller, and the proportion of photos will be more harmonious for the audience. This work is a very charming photo. On the screen, it shows a beautiful girl standing on the lawn. She closed her eyes and opened her hands as if she were embracing nature. Her infatuated expression under the white clouds gives people a sense of mystery. The uniqueness of the work is that she closes her eyes tightly and forms an illusion with the white clouds behind her, as if feeling the touch of the white clouds. The realistic effect makes people feel natural, which is its powerful artistic rendering power.

The conception of this work is very good. On the picture, her expression is clearly visible, and her hair flutters in the breeze, which makes the whole picture feel strong. The girl's expression in the picture is puzzling. Different people have different feelings, which gives people strong curiosity and gives viewers a comfortable feeling. The theme of the photo is well chosen, which can depict the girl's state of mind intoxicated in nature. In a word, it presents a beautiful picture, which makes people obsessed and eager to share the joy of girls. One of the more brilliant points is that the creativity is good, and the visual effect of space is formed with a photographic illusion, which makes people feel that the picture is integrated without any redundancy, just right. Such beautiful natural scenery gives people a feeling of grassland life and comfortable vision. The tone of the composition is low-key The dark tone on the picture is mainly reflected in a few small trees not far away, which makes the theme of the picture more prominent. The contrast between the blue sky and the white clouds is a highlight of the work, that is, the bright background has not stolen the aura of the characters in the tone. Of course, there is a flaw in this work, that is, the girl's pure white clothes seem a bit overwhelming, which makes the light focus on the clothes a little more. The light in this photo is on the bright side. Photographers use the main light to express the subject, which makes the characters in the picture stand out, and there is no lack of spatial perspective, which is really hard to get. In fact, photographers can cut the lawn a little and leave a little blank, which is not harmonious. If there is less ground, the characters are like in front of trees, which can make the artistic conception more perfect. The facial expressions and body movements in this photo are close-ups. In order to express a person's expression incisively and vividly, it is most appropriate to use close-up shots, and the girl's movements also add imagination to the viewer. Did the author do it? Write god in form, with both form and spirit? The author's feelings and the audience's feelings closely cooperate to achieve the unity of internal truth and external truth. Photography focuses on real life and scenery. Only by carefully observing and deeply feeling things and discovering extraordinary beauty from ordinary things can we arouse people's emotions, edify people's sentiments and enlighten people's understanding of life, and it will have aesthetic value. This work shows the hidden feelings of human beings to the audience through shooting, and has direct communication with the audience. Generally speaking, the conception, creativity and means of this work are worth learning and appreciating.
