How to appreciate photography and learn its creativity

How to appreciate photographic works? How to learn its idea?

This question will be asked like this. I believe the subject must be a photographer, or at least a photographer.

This problem is so big that it even goes beyond the scope of technology.

This is a problem that belongs to aesthetics and philosophy, but it just happens to choose photography as the subject of appreciation.

Since it is a philosophical issue, we can't help but mention the old man Bresson.

If you look at photography in this way, you will pay more attention to lines and forms of expression. When he judges whether a painting is good or not, he will look at it upside down. If it still conforms to various aesthetic principles, then it has the foundation of a good painting.

I will show some photos of Bresson's views under the subheadings of "Line and Form" and "Life Rhythm". But Bresson is just an individual after all. There are many great photographers in this world. His words carry a lot of weight, but we can't take it as a Bible.

"Remember, the painter puts things into the painting, and the photographer removes things from the painting. A photo should have only one interesting center, and there should be no useless things in the picture. If you have doubts about whether an object contributes to the picture, you should give it up as much as possible. " Willie quick
